[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been soliciting and incorporating community feedback on the program analysis/regional program model.[/quote]

This is not untrue.  The have a page for the Program Analysis where questions be submitted.  They did a survey at the beginning to determine parent/student program interest.  They have been having meetings with the community.  It may not be the most expansive engagement and they may not have made all the changes the feedback suggested (like slowing down), but they are not actually lying here.[/quote]

The survey back in March was extremely misleading (I highly suspect that's not because of poor design, but intentionally). They asked "what's your rank of programs that you'd like MCPS to add". They didn't say a single word about the regional model idea, and my interpretation (and the majority others) is one or two new special programs that MCPS would like to add according to popular votes. This is not only lying, but also manipulating.

Then you'd call a small orange button of "ask a question" embedded in a dark blue banner two-way communication? I've submitted several questions and raised concerns through that button. Never got any reply nor seeing my question is addressed on the FAQ or the BOE presentation slides.

So far they've been only holding 1-hour long information session with chat and QA functions turned off. And they call this community engagement. How distorted can words used by central office? [/quote]
