That email attached to the testimony was written very poorly and unclearly, but I don't think it's saying central office is telling schools model 2 is preferred. I think it's saying central office is telling schools that if *schools* have a preference for model 2 for the stated reasons, it's a valid justification for them to pick model 2.

That’s a good outcome.

How did your principal collect parent I put before making this decision? This was required per the McPS memo.

Can you post the memo please? Would be helpful to know what central office told principals. -DP

From the memo:

"Involve the leadership team, teachers, and families in discussions about model selection. Share clear criteria and rationale for decisions made."

They are also supposed to "access student demographics and needs... evaluate staffing and schedule flexibility...consider instructional goals and equity"

My school decided on their own but I'm glad they picked model 1

Also CES ... Juice not worth the squeeze. Ship off your kid on long bus for some TED talks with other nerds. And then lower odds at middle school magnet if that's something you want. Better to do this at local schools

If county was involved we would all be model 2, so I hope MCPS/BOE doesn't tell everyone what to do for the sake of the equity scam

Yea, watch the BOE make all model 1 schools revert to model 2 for sake of equity. Kind of wish the people testifying would shut up

Julie Yang seems to insinuate that they should all do Model 1. She pushes for reaching higher achieving students and data to back up the decisions.

What are you talking about? Central Office is who's more supportive of Model 2 and the Board members are the ones pushing back.

Going on and on about a huge list of brag points and "Harvard" programs (lol), after saying thatat home school your teacher will figure something out, maybe, if she has time.

The secret, though, is that the only thing special about CES is the smart kids filling the classroom. It's impossible to replicate for a single smart kid somewhere else.

Especially with the lottery CES that doesn't select based on merit... This is a real problem.

The vast majority of schools are doing model 2. There is nothing to revert to.
