[quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher there and it was fully planned by a Girl Scout troop- not parents. The issue is that they lost Title 1 status due to the changing MCPS calculation strategy and not due to any change in poverty levels at the school. Parents were told that there was no need to fill out forms, so they didn’t. We also have huge numbers of undocumented students whose parents don’t qualify for food stamps, even though they’re well below the poverty line. If MCPS had disclosed their changing method earlier in the year, Viers Mill and the other impacted schools could have had a chance to collect forms- or at least have a chance to work with MCPS on a better strategy to transition to the new calculation strategy.[/quote]
