[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Page 14 of the Action Plan defined "Equity" as
Equity means that every student, family, and staff member has the opportunities, resources, and supports necessary to succeed. Equity is the goal.

[b]I thought Equity means equal outcome??

This is different from MCPS Core Values
https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/about/mission/

Equity is WE BELIEVE that each and every student matters; outcomes should not be predictable by race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status;

That's not what this says. "Outcomes should not be predictable ..." doesn't mean that everyone is the same, it means that when comparing any particular academic group, the proportions of the population should be similar to the overall student population within the school and countywide. For example, students taking AP courses shouldn't skew white and asian. Or honor roll should have the same proportions of students as the student body. Right now, you can walk into most high school classes and tell whether the class is AP/IB, Honors, or regular by the faces in it.[/quote]
