I am a Murch parent. Based on what our child's K teacher told us today, there will be 5 first grade classes next year, not 4. it does not look like children are leaving the school

There are several threads in the forum devoted to the offenses of this prinicpal...I'm not a Murch parent so I don't know first hand. But from what I've read it seems to come down to disrespectful behavior towards teachers and being dimissive of parents.

Why was the principal so unpopular? How many years has she served at the school?

I'll go you one better. I think it will be a greater school after she leaves.

I don't know that there was going to be an exodus of families- Murch has phenomenal teachers. BUT, of the scenarios you gave, I'd say it's the latter.

There are going to be more classrooms than there is space for in the building based on current and projected numbers. I believe 5k, 4 first grade, 4 second grades (I think that is 2 classroom increase) . Many of the trees were relocated to the Reno road side of the property.

They have cut down several trees to make room for trailers, anyone know what is up with that?

I'm sure it is, but that's not what I asked.

OP here, and it's true. Principal left a vm tonight. All she said about herself was that she was resigning from DCPS. She said Ms. Rabiah was taking a non-admin job so she could spend more time with her family (she has an infant). So we all know that much. Just curious if anyone knew anything more.

Isn't this the same principal who tried to railroad the counselor out of the school despite the fact that the parents wanted it and the PTA was willing to pay for it? And she wanted to replace her 1/2 time with a social worker instead?

She deserved to go.
