[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is difficult for the kids (and their families) to have the news trickle in like this.  MCPS should email all results at the same time.[/quote]

Colleges are emailing acceptances nowadays, and then follow up with the paper confirmation that usually takes a week or so to come by mail.

[b]I think for MCPS to do that will mean additional expense[/b].  They can email or they can have a webpage where  parents  can use the student id # to find out if they are admitted or not.

What would the additional expense be?[/quote]

LOL. I do not work in MCPS. But I can guess. They will need their web-team to make a webpage, and perhaps have some sort of database where the info is loaded. However, they will actually need some man power and process - by which some one will load the data after verifying it. Before all that, there will be a need to actually write out the proposal for this "enhancement", project requirements, business rules, use cases, someone will have to do QA and testing.

It is not hard to do, but it will not be done on the fly either. [/quote]
