Will the BOE be reimbursing parents who have to take off work to protest mva, cuts, class sizes, principal appointments and the myriad items? That should tell you what a shitty job MCPS has done! Disgusted.

They could have if they didn't use it for failed bus tracking app, settlements etc etc etc...

What's the deadline to submit a testimony either written or video?

-- open public comments
-- final adoption of operating budget
-- final action, homework policy
-- charter schools discussion
Are any of these likely to be at all interesting or lively? These are kids aged 12 to 16 that would like to learn more about local government issues. (If anyone has a county council meetings that might be interesting, please let me know!)
Thank you!

They should give out SSL hours if kids attend!

MVA is a program, not a school. Try again

Listed in the budget as a school.

-Cuts
-MVA
-Class size increasing
-Principal announcements
-College Tracks

What else is on the agenda?

Will they discuss the 'change school start time' petition?:

Hand washing before and after lunch in Kindergarten?

A MCPS wide 'no cellphone policy', so each school is not needing to come up with their own set of rules? Appalling PARENTS are having to collate materials to try to bring about change. Schools know yet do not enforce consequences. They also dont enforce dress code policy.

Safety and accessibility of school bathrooms?

Increasing CEOs?

Improving COMMUNICATIONS processes during emergencies.

More MC classes on site at the High Schools so students not need travel?

A system for ALL schools (MCPS wide) to upload health documents for school, sports, like school cash payment site.

Getting MCAP scores on ParentVue so no delay with mailings.

When is the meeting expected to finish? Can I show up at 5pm and will mtg still be in progress?

No, it's not. It's after the schools, with the alternative programs.

If it was a school the could not cut it easily. It’s a program as they never filed to make it a school.

MVA has outlived its usefulness.It's time to reclaim those monies and apply to programs that benefit more students.

How they've approached ending the MVA program is fairly consistent with the regulations for closing schools.
