[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What can parents do now? Already emailed the school board. [/quote]

Other than raise our voices I don't think there's much we can do -- it seems its already decided unless the Board stands up to MCPS which I doubt they'll do[/quote]

I think if it matters to you, you have to raise your voice AND make it clear to the BOE that this is a voting issue for you. Anyone who wants your vote needs to push back. [/quote]

Make it clear to Karla Silvestre and to Julie Yang, who are trying to move from BOE to County Council, that they won't be getting your vote (and that you will suggest the same to all your neighbors, etc.) either in next month's primary (early/mail-in voting starting soon -- perhaps before they have to vote on anything related at a Board Business Meeting if MCPS continues to slow-roll this).  Those are the only possibly meaningful candidate situations at this point for anyone on the BOE.  The others aren't up for re-election for another 2 years or are shoo-ins.[/quote]

They don't have to vote to approve this.  It is an MCPS decision.  That said, they can pressure MCPS not to do it, and if they were willing they could publish a Board policy that requires cohorted acceleration in elementary school (which would stop the change.)  But it's not like MCPS is going to ask them to vote on it and if they vote it down it doesn't happen.  [/quote]
