[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s important to keep in mind that the MCPS policy has to align with Maryland’s guidelines for SSL. Since we’re the only state to have a SSL requirement, any challenge would have to go to the state. It represents a choice the state made. There are other public school districts which require SSL hours that do not have some such limitations on connections to religious activities. 
However, like many have said, the purpose of the SSL program may not be well served by the way it is done, and would be best discontinued.[/quote]

It's not fair that some kids may not graduate because they didn't have the time/means to do 75 hours of extra service learning, while most other kids are engaging in SSL activities that aren't what most people would consider community service.  Plus there's an MCPS office of like 15 staff members managing SSL.  Get rid of those slots and use their salaries to reduce class sizes or make changes to Canva/Synergy so it actually works.
