[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will MCPS pay for AP exams next school year?[/quote]

According to some folks on here we have to because of Blueprint. I'm not so sure that's true and I think MCPS needs to not pay for those exams for everyone across the board.[/quote]

It originates from this Blueprint language.

[url]https://marylandpublicschools.org/Blueprint/Documents/CCRReportSummer2022.pdf[/url]

"Students meeting the College and Career Ready (CCR) standard will have access to several Post-CCR pathways at no cost to students."

"There are three Post-CCR pathways detailed in The Blueprint:
• Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) programs
• Dual enrollment or early college programs
• Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs"[/quote]

Interesting. I think this is worth modifying. I think "minimal cost" would be a better standard applied here as the current approach is leading to a lot of waste.[/quote]

I’m sure the school districts would agree.  It’s made worse by the fact that students have to decide in October/November timeframe if they are taking the exam.  But until such time that the requirement is changed or MCPS is given some type of exemption, they have to comply.

This is a prime example of a cost that people assume can just be lessened or eliminated but CO can’t just slash without consideration and additional explanation.[/quote]
