Ask you school principal, Gifted Liaison, and PTA Board.

Asked principal and followed up - still no answer. Asked PTA - no reply. PTA said they no position on it... Just wanted to know where the school came out.

Guess I need to look up BOE stuff... Kindly point me where to find it?

Here is the agenda for the last meeting: https://go.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/Public

It came up in maybe 5 or 6 people's testimonies, including a few ES students' testimonies. After the public comments, the Board reacted and several members talked about ES literacy enrichment based on the testimonies.

The recorded session is here: https://mcpsmd.new.swagit.com/videos/345210

If you are interested, you should contact GEC. They did a webinar on this and have resources for how to get involved.

I love Yang’s question around this. Why is compacted math a system wide decision but Enriched Literacy was left up to principals to decide.

+1 -- And not just on this issue. Yang is by far the best Board member. She is very thoughtful.

I see the relevant board stuff now. Thanks. So it sounds like the people got to present, but it won't change anything for the next school year. Bummer. Now the hope is my principal selected option 1 I guess

The BOE oversight could lead MCPS to direct principals to choose option 1 if they have enough students for a class, as is the case with compacted math. There is no reason that this could not be done for next year. But parents needs to be really pushing for it, both at their school and with the BOE/central office. It won't happen without parents getting involved.

Emailed them to see what's up at my school. Since nobody knows and other schools already found out. When's the latest I would hear from school?

You should ask your principal, reading specialist, and/or gifted liaison. GEC is unlikely to know about your specific school (although I suppose it's possible they do.) I don't think there is actually any requirement they notify families of which option they chose, lots of schools have just done it because they've gotten questions from parents.

No requirement to tell parents about curriculum? Good grief.
I emailed principal, asst principal reading specialist, local PTA and have no idea who the gifted liaison is. Principal says they'll send out letters to home soon.... Best I got.

Not letting parents know ... Keep at it MCPS. See Mahmoud v Taylor. Can't wait for MCPS to lose that case.

I noticed that presenter who appeared over video said data illustrated ELC kids performed better than CES. Does anyone know what study this was?

We turned down CES bc the long bus ride and being pulled out of environment with siblings and friends seemed less than ideal. There was no transparency ELC was going away at thedeadline to reply to CES though... so we may regret it.... Unless we get model 1, I guess. Oh well

Not that they performed better — that they made gains at a higher rate. Those are different. There is an MCPS analysis fronts. Few years back on this.
