[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shouldn't it be a conflict of interest for Karla Silvestre to be evangelizing and pushing dual enrollment during board meetings as she did during the program analysis Q&A, given her role with Montgomery College?[/quote]

Absolutely! She asks about it at every BOE meeting.

I thought MCPS didn’t provide transportation for classes at MC. So how is that even an option if the whole point of the program study is equity and increased access[/quote]

The kids take classes at MC fully remote or if there are enough kids, at the high school.  This is not a bad thing for a class or two where a kid has an interest but not as a replacement for AP. Colleges don’t respect the dual enrollment as much in admissions, as AP exams are standardized.[/quote]

Just to add in - a lot of staff at schools where dual enrollment (specifically MC2) is offered do not appreciate professors from MC coming into the building to teach, especially when many of these teachers have the expertise already to teach those classes. [/quote]

Just curious - do the MC educators have to attend the HS' meetings? Do the MC educators have to substitute teach for other teachers in the building? [/quote]
