This reads like you only care about DCC schools. You want to keep your own school choice while not allowing the rest of the county to have the same.

When I read the original post above, I was ready to sign in a heartbeat…until I read the letter. Why can’t we try to get the best for everyone?

Thank you for your support. The BOE is aware of the petition and will be reviewing it next Friday.

This was drafted in coordination with MCCPTA leaders. The primary purpose is to show *individual* support for the MCCPTA resolution.

Please continue circulating!

“More than 90% of MCCPTA delegates in attendance — representing more than 50 PTAs at county public schools — approved the resolution [urging MCPS to slow its program analysis]”.

“The MCCPTA resolution urges MCPS to extend the program analysis for at least one year to allow for the dissemination of the proposal and further community engagement. It also asks the school board to refrain from approving any systemwide changes until the district ‘conducts multiple rounds of proposals and public feedback.’”

The concerns expressed by parents and teachers are valid, and their ask is reasonable, in order to make sure the aim of equity and access would actually be accomplished through the regions proposal.

I don’t understand why MCPS would flagrantly ignore and disregard the people most impacted by their proposed model: the parents, students, and teachers of the county.


Yeah, it confuses me too. I wonder if Taylor just told them they had to find a way to make it happen on his timeline and they decided that had to mean avoiding community feedback?

Because there is something else behind it and personal gain for those in charge for doing it. It's not about the students or staff. If it was they would have done a far better job of managing things over the years.

You don't need to worry about the new programs, as there is no funding behind them, and they are all fake to say they are doing something without doing anything. The wealthier schools will continue to have their needs met, while the less affluent will continue to go without. Families with students whose needs cannot be met will likely flee MCPS. So, everyone fighting over who gets what is silly. There are no extra teachers, funding for the needs for those programs, etc.

You vastly overestimate MCPS' ability to produce credible programs formed by central office.

Over the past few months, many of us have expressed concern about the proposed changes to school boundaries and academic programs in MCPS. In response, a group of parents from across multiple schools have come together to draft a petition that outlines key issues and urges the Board of Education and Superintendent to reconsider the current proposals.

The issues at hand are complex, and while it was challenging to capture every nuance, we believe this petition offers a strong overview of the concerns many in our community share, particularly around transparency, equity, and the pace of implementation.
