[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like MCCPTA is pushing for bussing to nearby schools as the solution for this.  I'm skeptical that's going to fly, given the budget constraints.

I'm concerned because it feels like parents are not reading between the lines here.  No one has been able to come up with a good low-cost solution for this besides "put full-sized classrooms of kids into accelerated math in ES, whether they need it/are able to handle it or not," which MCPS is clearly not going to do anymore.  Budgets are too tight to expect any more-expensive solutions to be implemented.  Unless there is a creative affordable strategy we can come up with, I think accelerated math in ES is dead.[/quote]

MCCPTA also said it could be done through automatic COSA approval to a school that offers it. That wouldn’t have the bussing budget impact but would be less equitable. [/quote]

Speaking from experience it’s near impossible now.  MCCPTA is looking for attention but they offer no real advocacy or solutions.  [/quote]
