[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the FAQ on the MCPS website about TPMS/Eastern admissions :

"What data was used to evaluate my child?

The review is a multiple measure process
from both system and external measures.
The data that was included:  Grade  5  report  card,  school  assessments:  percentile  ranks  for  the  Measures  of  Adequate Progress  in  Reading  and  Math, 
state  assessment: PARCC achievement  levels 
for reading  and  math data*
,   instructional   need,   student
services^,   non-scored   student   questionnaire,   and 
an   outside assessment: (Cognitive Test of Abilities Test (CogAT) full battery.

* PARCC is only used to see a pattern 
of performance of grade level 
indicators

^ services such as receiving special education services,  ESOL-English for Speakers of Other Languages, 504 
accommodations plan and Free and Reduced Meals"[/quote]

Does this mean a child with a 504 is a ding against a child for qualification of these programs?[/quote]

I hope not - aren't the 504 plans straight out of the Americans with Disabilities Act?  So, like, big law suit fr discrimination based on disability?[/quote]

Maybe it means they just make sure if 504 called for extra time, child received extra time - essentially that they adhered to the 504 plan?  [/quote]

But it says right there "what data is used to evaluate my child?"  Shouldn't it be that they determine if a kid is qualified or not first.  [/quote]
