[quote=Anonymous]I’m a long time parent in MCPS with a high school child who has disabilities.  Instead of para educators, there used to be special education teachers. BIG difference in skill level and trainings.

We used to receive teacher reports for IEP meetings. At first I thought it was a COVID thing when our school stopped collecting and presenting teacher input from all my child’s teachers at IEP meetings. Now I think it’s just a poorly run special education department that has not been measuring if my child is progressing with his goals and objectives.

The teachers are really burnt out this year. Too many students to have the time to do everything listed on my child’s IEP.

Central Office has come to his IEP meetings but they aren’t fixing anything that the Special Education Resource Teacher is doing that has come back from MSDE as violations.  Instead, it becomes a pattern that MCPS is digging a deeper hole of violations vs. helping my child.

The level of dishonesty in the Prior Written Notice and statements made by MCPS staff at IEP meetings has resulted in us recording all IEP meetings. I really can’t understand the lack of ethics of MCPS staff. If lying achieves the objective, what is the objective? How is MCPS teaching children if they have create barriers for learning?

The culture of denying students the services they need to succeed runs deep in MCPS. It’s a blatant form of discrimination that Dr. McKnight is continuing under her leadership.[/quote]
