[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The amount of identified kids is high. The severity of needs has exploded. Yet, the student-teacher ratio has increased- especially in the discrete programs. My understanding is that the new superintendent wants to close down discrete programs in elementary and limited them in middle and high. Unfortunately, we need more programs, not fewer.[/quote] It does not bode well for MCPS special ed if that’s what the superintendent intends! Executive level staff need to spend a few days in schools, observing discrete and special school programs. Not just a walk-through but actually sit and see what is going on. For too long decisions have been made by people who have no idea what the real story is.[/quote] Couldn’t agree more. We need more discrete programs, not less. The home school model does not serve all special education students and I believe that’s intentional. Parent of a special education student and MCPS staff member.[/quote]
