[quote=Anonymous]Current parent at Bridges PCS here

Let me just start by saying that this year has been the worst year ever with staff and turnover rates. The news of Ms. Neris leaving really hit home for me, and by far has left me scared of what will be of Bridges after April 1st. I am super lucky to have such an honest teacher who gives me the scoop on what's really going on. Ms. Neris is leaving because Bridges treats her like she is dirt! She loves the school, but the appreciation for its staff and teachers is one of the reasons why everyone is leaving, has left, or will not be coming back next year. As one of the previous post mentioned, pay rates at charter schools are way less than your typical DCPS salary, but staff are well aware of their salaries before signing up for the job. I am deeply saddened by the news of Ms. Neris' departure as she is the glue that holds that school together and is truly the backbone of that place. She is a ray of sunshine the moment you enter the building and if anyone at the school is effective on communication, it would have to be her!

I know other parents are really upset by this, is there anything we can do or say to make her stay? I truly cannot fathom the idea of Bridges without her! My childs teacher has also shared with me that most teachers and teacher assistants are leaving due to the lack of support offered by administration. Being an inclusive school, they are overloaded with students who are emotionally disturbed, but not offered the support that is needed. Handling 18 students is already hard enough, but handling half of the class with some sort of special need and zero support can overwhelm anyone!

This is my second year at Bridges and I have been extremely satisfied with my child's teacher, but I am not are if that can balance out all the negativity that is going on. I really hope that this meeting tomorrow is effective and informative. Hope to see other parents join and express their concerns about everything! [/quote]
