[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What can be done to stop this? This is incredibly upsetting.[/quote]

The main pathway is to convince the Board of Ed to refuse to approve it in December and tell MCPS to take another year to work on the plan, gather more feedback, etc.

We need to be telling Board of Ed members this every chance we get.   Emails, testimony at Board meetings, anytime you see them in the community, etc.

I think we are much more likely to be successful if we are saying "not this year, slow things down, make a good plan and solicit feedback, etc" rather than "kill the program analysis, keep everything the way it is.* If we can win that, we can take on the substance of specific changes over the next year

BOE has clarified on several occasions that they won’t vote. This is superintendent’s own decision. BOE will help “guide the process” and “hold people accountable”, neither of which are reflected in their actions by far.[/quote]

MCPS has said the Board will vote , and even if MCPS didn't want them to, they could still insist on voting on it.  It's our job to make sure they feel the pressure on this issue.  Many of them are likely to run for reelection, and two of them are planning on running for County Council.  If they see enough people upset about this issue, they'll act.[/quote]
