[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Losing both the Career and College Navigators and the English composition assistant is going to make things harder for seniors going through the college application process.  The ECA who runs my kid's school's writing center was so helpful to my daughter, reading multiple drafts of her college essays and giving feedback, and the CCN kept things organized for the whole application process.  The other cuts are also bad, but these two caught my eye in particular after going through the college process this year.[/quote]

Thanks, PP. I work as an ECA in the county and I think I read more than 120 college essays - most multiple times! - this year alone. Please use this example from your child’s school when you contact the county council encouraging them to fully fund the MCPS budget.

Most families can’t afford pricey college consultants, and our students who are new to the American education system don’t even know how important the college essay is! I see this all the time in my job - bright students whose families aren’t working the system getting shut out of colleges. I consider myself their advocate and work with them on their application essays and finding scholarship opportunities.

MCPS families may not know what some of these support positions do - Pupil Personnel Workers? Comp assistants? These might seem like positions whose absence wouldn’t be felt, but they would. Thanks again, PP, for seeing us! And hopefully for standing up for us by calling your council member! [/quote]
