Morgan Middle School

Posted January 26, 2009

I'm only a grandparent of a Morgan student, but I've been a school board member, member of a citizen's advisory group, and very active in my children's schools. Now I am hearing things about Morgan that force me to investigate what kind of education my grandchild is receiving. Lack of parental involvement and a few disinterested teachers seems to be dragging this school down. Is the principal aware of his school's problems and is the principal taking action to resolve those problems? Parents need to ask these questions and demand answers. These problems are basic. Morgan's WASL rankings are too low. Some of this may be due to teaching failures at the elementary level. If Morgan fails to answer the needs of these students now, what becomes of them in high school and college? Time for parents to become active and for teachers and the principal to do their jobs.

Ellensburg School District Administration leaves a lot to be desired. The administration will overlook administrative misconduct while, at the same time, dictating school policy to parents. They have a strange animosity towards learning disabled children cutting corners in special education costs where ever they can, but will readily fund atheletic and special events claiming all the time that they are always short of funds. If it were not for the teachers who refuse to let the children fail themselves, I would have moved from this area a long time ago. Many of the instructors are very involved in the success of the students while equally disgruntled about the lack of help from administration. The middle school is the only middle school this Ellensburg has to offer. The teachers are great. Secretaries are great. The leaders need replacing.
