You know, it’s interesting that MCPS is choosing to spend money on these types of marketing emails. Almost like they’re ‘recruiting’ videos. Why does MCPS care if students leave? I have no idea why MCPS is spending money on convincing parents to stick with MCPS, but they are.
Which tells me that all of the posters like this PP who say ‘Good riddance’ to the families who want to go private are full of crap. MCPS, at least, doesn’t want too many families to leave. Must be a reason for that.
How much money? Please let us know. How much does it cost to send an e-mail to tell former MCPS parents about MCPS's plans for the fall?
It costs at least $250,000. That e-mail is the full time job of a MCPS administrator with a take home car.
You’re not very educated but keep jumping on that train that will fill DCUM moms with the fire that makes them think they are entitled!

Ugh, they want the federal dollars. That’s all. They are worried about their jobs - as they should be. Utterly disgraceful place, on so many levels - mistreatment of IEP kids top of the list. So glad we moved out of this show...
They always treated kid with IEPS terribly. Its worse with COVID but for us in person was horrible and virtual was better as we could support that child in classes whereas they had a great IEP stating they'd provide support and never did.

No but many are still contemplating bolting to private. I withdrew three kids last August after they went from hybrid to virtual. I called every catholic school in moco and my kids had a 100% in person year. I would 100% do the same this year if I smell blood in the water. They so much as blink at 5 days in person in front of a teacher and I’m gone and not coming back.

MCPS is wasting its money on those stupid communications. People who withdrew in the pandemic aren't going to be convinced to return by a cheesy video. At least now, we know what all those central office communications staff are doing, since it's clearly not quality controlling the written communications that come out of MCPS.

I’m a huge MCPS doubter but this video was reassuring. I expected masks and there will be masks but I am so happy that my kinder and first grader will have a more normal experience in the classroom and recess. Truly I’m feeling so much more optimistic now. (Not likely the comments about it not being strict/miserable enough though —- shhhh go to virtual academy. The rest of us are desperate for a hint of the school we remember and love!)
There is no testing or social distancing. Those are equally important.

Good luck to you you sound like a nightmare even for this area! Can’t wait to send my kids back to MCPS!
Oh my god. Total nightmare!

Good point. Remember they get money based on the number of students so if they loose a large number of students their funding goes down.

Good riddance.
What will happen? Kids will get to be kids again!!! COVID is so blown out of proportion. The risk for kids is just not worth sacrificing another whole school year! Come on! Mine have been in maskless since May. At birthday parties. In day camps all summer. All is well.

The private school parents are stealing money and services from MCPS. They also are hurting the ratings.
Schools get a lot of Federal and State aid that that is paid on a per student basis. Pulling a kid unexpected and last minute the school has same cost to teach those classes but with less students less money. Add in higher performing and more active parents in general who split to private lower test scores and less involved Parents it is a headache.
