DISCUSSION/ACTION Office of the Superintendent of Schools DISCUSSION/ACTION Office of the Superintendent of Schools MONTGOMERY COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS Rockville, Maryland October 10, 2016 MEMORANDUM To: Members of the Board of Education From: Jack R. Smith, Superintendent of Schools Subject: Final Approval of the Comprehensive Master Plan Under the Bridge to Excellence in Public Schools Act of 2002 (BTE), enacted by the Maryland General Assembly in 2002, Local Education Agencies (LEAs) in Maryland are required to submit a Comprehensive Master Plan (Master Plan) that links school finance to decisions concerning school improvement annually. BTE is a standards-based approach to public school financing. BTE requires the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) to set academic content and student achievement standards, ensure that schools and students have sufficient resources to meet those standards, and hold schools and school systems accountable for the performance of all students and all racial/ethnic and special services groups. By design, the legislation requires school systems to integrate state, federal, and local funding and initiatives into the Master Plan. Background The BTE legislation provides a framework for Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) and other LEAs to increase student achievement and close the achievement gap. The legislation increased state aid for public education and required each LEA to develop a Comprehensive Master Plan that is updated each year. The Master Plan describes the goals, objectives, and strategies that will be used to improve student achievement. In addition, the Master Plan includes detailed summaries of the alignment between our current Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 budget, the FY 2016 actual budget, and the Master Plan goals and objectives. Following submission of the 2016 Master Plan to MSDE on October 17, 2016, MCPS will receive feedback from MSDE as well as from peer review teams composed of representatives of other LEAs. Following edits and updates from this review, the final submission of the Master Plan will be transmitted to MSDE on November 17, 2016. Changes to the Comprehensive Master Plan Earlier this year, the Maryland General Assembly passed House Bill (HB) 999, Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education, and HB 412, Education – Assessments – Administration and Provision of Information. Specifically, HB 999 outlines the reporting structure of the BTE Master Plan Annual Update for submission in both 2016 and 2017. HB 999 revises the requirements that need to be reported in the submission for these two particular years. Based on HB 999, the Master Plan Annual Update shall only include the goals, objectives, and strategies regarding the performance of three categories of students. These include: 1) students requiring special education, as defined in Section 5-209 of the Education Article; Members of the Board of Education 2 October 10, 2016 2) students with limited English proficiency, as defined in Section 5-208 of the Education Article; and 3) students failing to meet or failing to make progress toward meeting state performance standards, including any segment of the student population that is, on average, performing at a lower achievement level than the student population as a whole. HB 999 also requires MSDE to report by October 1, 2017, to the Maryland State Board of Education, the General Assembly, and the commission created by the bill on what information should be included in future Comprehensive Master Plans and whether they should be completed in digital form that periodically can be updated. The other bill, HB 412, outlines assessment reporting details specified in the new Education Article Section 7-203.3 for each assessment administered in the school district and the information that shall be provided in the Master Plan Annual Update for each administered assessment. For each assessment, MCPS and other LEAs are required to provide the following information: 1) the title of the assessment; 2) the purpose of the assessment; 3) whether the assessment is mandated by a local, state, or federal entity; 4) the grade level or subject area, as appropriate, to which the test is administered; 5) the testing window of the assessment; and 6) whether accommodations are available for students with special needs and what are those accommodations. In addition to these changes in this year’s Master Plan Annual Update, the structure of the Master Plan has been revised. Part II of previous Comprehensive Master Plan submissions reflected budget narrative and details of federal grant-titled programs including Title I, Parts A and D; Title II; Title III, Part A; as well as the State Fine Arts Grant Program, and other reporting requirements. This budget section has been separated from the rest of the Master Plan Annual Update and will now be submitted separately as the Federal and State Grant Applications and other Reporting Requirements; it has its own submission schedule distinct from when the Master Plan Annual Update is due to MSDE. Final submission of Title I, Part D, to MSDE occurred on September 16, 2016, and Title I, Part A, on September 30, 2016. Other components of the Federal and State Grant Applications and Other Reporting Requirements are due on either October 17, 2016, or November 17, 2016. The following is a summary of the contents of the MCPS 2016 Master Plan Annual Update.

    Interfaith Families Project March 2004 www.iffp.net P.O. Box 5413, Takoma Park, MD 20913 [email protected] 301-270-6337 FROM THE BOARD Two Experiments At its February meeting, the Board approved two temporary alterations to our regular Sunday morning routine, each to occur once before the end of this year, if possible. The first experiment will be to cancel Adult Group one Sunday and have a brunch for adults in its place. The second experiment will be to reverse the regular schedule one Sunday. It will begin with the kids going to Sunday School while Adult Group meets. After Adult Group ends and before the kids rejoin their families, the Gathering will begin. Kids and teachers will then rejoin the larger community for a Family Gathering. After the Gathering, coffee and bagels will be available for half an hour. Details were left to the deliberative wisdom of Heather, Sherri, Larry Bostian (chair, Worship Committee), and Sam Lawson (guru, Adult Group). These experiments grow from the Board’s desire to respond to key challenges facing IFFP—none more important than finding additional ways for small groups of members to meet and explore shared interests. When IFFP was smaller, this happened naturally both at IFFP events and on the streets of Takoma Park. With a larger and more geographically diverse community, we need to cultivate different opportunities for natural community building. Complementing these two Sunday-morning experiments, the Board also discussed ways to encourage member-initiated events. We want to facilitate any member s who wish to invite others to join them in some activity.

  • AISGW Statement to Applicants
    To Students and Families Applying to Washington-Area Independent Schools for Admission in 2021-2022 To promote a fair and transparent admission process, the member schools of the Association of Independent Schools of Greater Washington (“AISGW”) have established the following guidelines for working with families and students applying to their schools. All AISGW schools and applicant families are expected to abide by these guidelines. Schools should make clear to applicants all dates pertaining to admission and re-enrollment. AISGW recommends the following timeline: • Notification Date - Notification of admission decisions shall be the first Friday in March (March 5, 2021). Electronic notification, which includes email, telephone, on-line portal or any other form of instant notification, shall not occur before 4 pm. Letters may be placed in the U.S. mail so as to be received on the first Friday in March. • Registration/Reply Date - Enrollment contracts for newly admitted students are due back to the school no earlier than the third Friday in March (March 19, 2021), or two weeks from the date of notification. • Tuition Binding Date - Enrollment contracts for newly admitted and re-enrolling students are binding as of 4:00 pm on June 1. This means that schools may not release the tuition obligation of a family that has already enrolled unless the family notifies the school of its decision to enroll elsewhere by 4:00 pm on June 1. If June 1 falls on a weekend, the binding date shall be 4:00 pm on the immediately preceding Friday. Upon receipt of an application, member schools of AISGW presume that if an applicant is currently enrolled at another independent school, the applicant’s family already has notified that school of an intention to apply elsewhere in the independent school community.
