My kids are at a nearby school, and when I've had the chance to meet Truesdell's principal she's had her stuff together.
Same. They also turned out in force for the Ward 4 forum with Chancellor Wilson.
Then it sounds like all this school needs is a group of neighborhood parents to form a PTO and get involved.
Do we know if the school has a PTO? We are in-bound for Truesdell and will likely send our son there in 2019!
The school's DCPS school profile page says it does. They don't have a website, but they do have a Facebook page and a Twitter account. https://www.facebook.com/truesdellec/
They do not have an active PTO. Be prepared for opposition. There is strength in parent voice and numbers.
Who would oppose it? The principal seems pretty open to parents.
Yes, who would oppose it? I've been told they'd love for someone to start a PTO. The principal is seriously great.
In the last 5 years, they have existed without a PTO. It's a great idea, but expect some oppositon from a school which has run with autonomy.
That doesn't sound like the principal's style at all. She was very open and welcoming when I spoke with her.
It really doesn't. I know for a fact that Ms. Stinson would love to have an active PTO.
