[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the Loudoun school board is in favor of academic acceleration. As long as the state lets school districts manage it, I’m not as worried.[/quote]

Based on the school board meeting yesterday, you should be very worried.  The school board was not aware of the implemented changes where advancement has been taken away for five months.
Looks like they are still not aware of it, nor do they appear to be aware that the county staff is against academic acceleration and supports detracking.

Several school board member social media accounts say otherwise. Considering well over half of kids in Loudoun accelerate for math right now, I don’t see it going away completely in Loudoun. But don’t worry, I’m going to stay on it.[/quote]

That's the problem, they missed what the county staff was saying, because they have not been following this issue over the last month.  Watch the school board meeting video on LCPS's website, it's about 4:30 in they start the discussion of VMPI.

The status quo right now for LCPS is that there will be no acceleration for current 4th graders and below and for current fifth graders in Math 6 next year, changed from last year due to VMPI.  2023-2024 they are teaching Essential concepts 7-10.
They have not stated they are reversing those changes.[/quote]
