[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don't understand why the Mayor can't find a way to make you guys at Murch whole and just build the school as originally planned. Does she want to lose Ward 3 again? Surely she's not going to run unopposed next time[/quote]

The City has a huge surplus in its reserves this year.  The D.C. Council needs to step in with some oversight of Bowser's mistakes and clean up a few of the messes (like Murch) with some of that money.[/quote]

You are right, the city has the money. But even if the Council stepped in, it would likely too late to fix a modernization that is scheduled to start in June. The Mayor needs to fix this now. If you agree I hope you will call the Mayor's office on Monday and let her know -- especially if you don't have kids at Murch. Calling takes the same amount of time as posting here and has a bigger effect.

The full story of what is happening at Murch is a serious failure of city government on so many levels. It should disturb people no matter where they live in the city.[/quote]

Call the mayor, but tell her to fix the boundaries first.  Then, go back to the drawing board and come up with a reasonable construction design.  [/quote] +1 [/quote]

Also Murch needs to zero-out OOB enrollment at the school as those students move on to middle school or otherwise leave.   It doesn't make sense to have any OOB slots when the school is so over-enrolled with kids who live in the IB area.[/quote]
