[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools (principals, math coordinators, teachers) had the final say on CM placement either way -- keeping out or letting in.  Last year, MCPS central offices made the initial recommendation for 4/5 based on grades, curricular assessments and MAP scores, and provided criteria guidance to schools for continuation from 4/5 to 5/6.

Some individual ES administrators made adjustments to the recommended placements while others did not.  Any administrator who said their hands were tied by MCPS central policy/placement was not speaking the truth, whether they knew it or not.

ES administration also had the option to offer CM in person, team with another ES to offer it (half-virtual), engage the Virtual Academy to offer it or drop it, offering on-grade-level enrichment, instead.  I believe the last option is no longer in play for next year.

One could appeal to a student's current teacher, the ES administration and then bring in the OSSI supervisor (group of area administrators in charge of supporting groups of schools/principals, and, nominally, their superiors).  A formal appeal process, essentially to the superintendent and then the BOE, would be a last resort (short of a lawsuit).[/quote]

This!!  And this fact was clarified for the general public last year so it was not a secret.[/quote]
