[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else hear the rumors that they are shortening the process? Only giving a few options in October and one will be chosen as the final without further tweaks?[/quote]

I heard at one of the MCCPTA area meetings this summer that they expect there to be two more options in October. But no one can know if there will be tweaks after that because the Superintendent will make his recommendation to the BOE (which could be a tweaked version of what his staff recommends to him) and the BOE can accept Taylor’s recommendation as is or with modifications. So no one can know at this point if whatever comes out in October will be tweaked before final adoption.  [/quote]

Thanks for the additional information. That feels like a shorter process than originally indicated.[/quote]

I think it is still on track with what they said previously. We are a little behind because the updates recommendations meetings aren’t until Oct.

Here is what they said in the presentation at the last Board meeting:
Sept - refined options sessions and feedback survey
Oct & Nov - synthesize feedback
Dec - superintendent’s recommendation developed 
Jan 2026 - superintendent’s recommendation presented to BOE
Feb/March - public hearings and written testimony from community
March - final decision [/quote]

Thanks for finding that - appreciate it. I'm a bit surprised they are only presenting two options in this next round but we will see what they look like.[/quote]

Where did you hear that it's only 2 options?[/quote]

I’m the PP that said 2 options. That’s what people from MCCPTA said they expect at one of the area meetings this summer. I have no idea what that’s based on, other than MCCPTA folks are typically well-connected within MCPS. It may or may not be accurate. [/quote]

I wonder if they had 2 additional options in round 2 past (smaller) boundary studies and that is what they are basing it on. I would be surprised if there were only 2 in such a large study.[/quote]

The last HS study had something like 14 options.[/quote]

Well then it is even less likely this time that there will be only 2 in Sept/early Oct. [/quote]
