Can you search on this thread to see which schools will pilot the new curriculum? Yes!

In short, pay attention and stay on top of MCPS, don’t blame them for putting out the information and you dragging your feet. This thread has been viewed by thousands of people. It literally only took 15-20 mins to review the curriculum and provide feedback.

THIS 100%. It's really astounding. Information on this is not only here but on the MCPS website. You should've received information via email as well. You should've acted on the information given. Don't blame MCPS.

Are the MCPS employees doing their daily monitoring of this thread? Yeah, if I were getting paid by MCPS, I'd be more on top of the new curriculum feedback schedule too. A two week comment period is not a huge amount of time, given that this process has dragged on for nearly a year.

Nope, not an MCPS employee but a parent who stays on top of these things. This is a formal procurement process. You don't get 30 days to provide comment.

Yup, you just get the people in charge of curriculum development interviewing for jobs at the vendors applying for the RFP (Erick Lang and friends). We know how formal MCPS processes work.

And good thing that Discovery is no longer in the running.
