[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ditto the complaints from the special needs community. Dr. McKnight leads a school system that ignores the needs of students with disabilities at every turn. Instead of PPW and school psychologists (staff with specific expertise regarding problems for my child) MCPS stacks the meeting with so many school administrators and now legal staff that the hands on providers have stopped providing input.

You can’t put students first if the Special Education Department operates in a dysfunctional manner that MCPS turns to a slash and burn policy of attacking students and parents for their advocacy. MCPS fails to put students first when they use COVID as an excuse to not implement 504 Plans and IEPs then buck at the concept that every child with special needs deserve compensatory services.

Three meetings are not enough to hear from parents in MCPS.  A virtual option for participating is needed for families who have loved ones with underlying health conditions that a large indoor gathering precludes them from attending in person. At a time MCPS is still holding IEP meetings virtually, I am not understanding why a community input meeting doesn’t have an online option.[/quote]

I agree 100%. [/quote]
