thx, I read the RFP file (last one listed) and am familiar with legal docs. 
no mention of[b] science or social studies[/b] in either ELA or math requirements or preferences. Guess MCPS will whip that up?
mentioned 45-60 minutes of daily ELA and of daily Math so that frees up 60 minutes versus current C2.0. Wonder what MCSP will do with that time? More gym, A day for science, B day for social studies?
no mention of physical textbooks or work books, just digital stuff for teachers, parents, students. [/quote]

science and social studies were never in scope of the RFP. It has always been ELA and math..[/quote]

[b]Science is not in the scope because MCPS adopted a new science curriculum this year. We now follow the NGSS standards same as VA publics. I wish all the mass hysteria would stop about science not being taught or being weak in MCPS. The new science curriculum is by National Geographic and does come with student textbooks, although students cannot write in them or take them home. Students, however, will have an electronic copy of the textbook. While I would prefer a hard copy textbook I also realize that MCPS would rather save money to hire aides and additional teachers rather than spend each year re-purchasing student workbooks which are not cheap.[/b][/quote]

[b]Forgot to mention that MCPS has not yet updated its website to reflect the new science curriculum[/b][/quote]
