[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Murch is an amazing school with an incredible community. DCPS has under invested in this school for more than 50 years and should be extremely flexible and responsive to this gem of a school that promotes inclusive education with excellence. The principal is responsive, the teachers are creative and prepared. The school community is welcoming of families with extremely diverse socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. I wish that these qualities were present in more schools in our city. Murch is a highly sought out model school, despite the major issues with the current decrepit school building.

The school has had to make do with inadequate space for decades. Create a swing space that lets the school flourish even if it costs significantly more money. The Murch families, staff and children deserve this. As a DC taxpayer with a child at a different elementary school I would love to see my tax dollars used to support quality swing space for Murch during construction.

The status quo school building is entirely unacceptable, inadequate and perhaps even placing children at risk. The swing space must significantly improve on the current physical infrastructure of the school. This cannot wait and may be costly, but must be done.  The kids desperately need to be out of the current building as quickly as possible.[/quote]

This. Especially given that the significantly more expensive swing space at Lafayette is actually nicer than the facilities Murch kids have endured for over a decade. How DC could justify spending LESS than that on Murch's swing space is indefensible. [/quote]
