[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was discussion of busing on the GTA listserv.  [/quote]

It appears that, in some clusters, the 4th graders taking the combined 4/5 class will be expected to ride the local middle school bus to the middle school in the AM, take the combined 4/5 class at the middle school during the first period, and then be transported back to their local elementary school by MCPS.  When their 4th grade elementary peers are taking their math class during the regular elementary day, the kids who went to the middle school for the accelerated 4/5 class will just be asked to sit in some kind of study hall type class and do "homework".

MCPS says:

MCPS central office staff, in collaboration with stakeholders, developed the following options which are under consideration for implementation in the 2013-2014 school year:

•Implement the course in the local school as a separate class.
•Implement the course as part of a small differentiated group within a Grade 4 classroom.
•Work with another school to establish a class for identified students, which is taught by an itinerant teacher trained to deliver the compacted curriculum. 
•Creation of a distance learning class for multiple schools, taught by an itinerant teacher trained to deliver the compacted curriculum.
•Send a small group of students to a nearby middle school where the C2.0 Compacted Grade 4/5 Math Course would be taught during first period.

Implementation options will be selected for each school based on the number of students identified for the compacted curriculum. Central services staff members will collaborate with principals to determine the best implementation strategy for each school. The Fiscal Year 2014 budget includes 10 itinerant teacher positions to support implementation of C2.0 Grade 4 compacted mathematics. It is anticipated that final decisions regarding implementation models at each school will be made in July.
