[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is worst-case scenario for Miner because now there is absolutely no reason for current IB families or DCPS to invest effort into improving Miner, if the cluster idea is still on the table and a working group is coming. But if you have school age kids now, or even have kids staring PK in the next few years, the incentive to look elsewhere for school has never been higher because who even knows what is happening with Miner?

I'm sure Maury families are happy but I think Miner got screwed in this process. The upshot for the school is that everyone focused very hard on how much it is failing and how no one wants to go there for several months, and now it will be left to its own devices for the next 3+ years. Great.

What a total WASTE of everyone's time and energy. The DME could not have screwed this up harder if he'd tried.[/quote]

DME absolutely botched this and continues to make bad choices.  I agree that the working group has the potential to disadvantage Miner.  It will be in a state of limbo from the perspective of parents and future principals.  How are they going to secure a committed new principal with the looming threat that they'll be removed or that their hard work could be undone by a cluster?

This is a missed opportunity and the DME should have done its job from the beginning and looked at boundary redraws.  DME knows its too late to introduce a boundary change, so they're throwing out nonstarters. They didn't even look at the most obvious change, which is a north south dividing line along 15th and 16th that carves out Azeeze-Bates to Maury.[/quote]
