MCPS shared this: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1fCkz2b1rVr60QIatOoSPXCLD7f1YlRRDCn3VbHrBx-o/viewform?edit_requested=true
It feels like they didn’t put much effort into creating this survey compared to the Boundary survey, yet this is just as important. |
100% correct. MCPS is trying to slip this major change in without input from its stakeholders.
Also, the boundary study involves in a consulting firm - the program work is done in-house by MCPS central office staff. |
It's not really a survey, it's just a link to the feedback form that's been on the Program Analysis site for weeks... |
MCPS isn't known for rigorous methodology when they attempt to get input from the community. This survey just checked off a box for them. |
To OP: where did you find this link? I checked emails from MCPS and website for secondary program study. Couldn't find this new survey at all. Thanks! |
It was towards the bottom of the list in the “Things to know” Thursday email/texts yesterday. Seems like it should be its own important message! |
Thanks! Took a second round scrutiny and finally found it! This is such an effective communication! |
+1. This is not a survey. The form just says "Ask a question and/or share a comment." That's it. |
It's also up at the top of the programs analysis website (the "Ask a Question" link): https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/academic-programs-analysis/ |
Sad that folks have to come here to understand the barrage of info. |
They talked about a.whole plan for engagement on the program analysis coming up (presumably this fall), I'm guessing they decided to flag the existing question/feedback form for folks as a stopgap thing over the summer... |
According to Julie Yang the BOE expects community feedback by August to inform the next round of Boundary Options. She talks about this starting about 17 minutes into this meeting: https://youtu.be/sBTZM3Au00w?si=9EPlrpAOX16dqrpz |
How they expect any actual feedback without showing cost and traffic implications is malfeasance |
Yes, we've known that about the boundary study for awhile, and there's a whole separate feedback form for that. But this post (and the linked feedback form) is about the program analysis which is a different process so I don't know why you're posting this here. |
You didn’t listen to the meeting! Julie says the PROGRAM study data and feedback the BOE requested at the 6/24 meeting will be available by their August meeting to inform their boundary study decisions for the second iteration. |
