Re: BOARD/SUPERINTENDENT COMMENTS Dr. Vance announced that the new teacher orientation took place at Walt Whitman High School on August 24, 1998, with more than 819 new teachers, and publically acknowledged the effort of the Department of Personnel Services. The good news was that nearly 25 percent of those new teachers were MCPS graduates. Also, he was excited as the school system initiated the consortium and controlled choice in the northeast part of the county. Ms. Signer had the pleasure to attend the “unveiling” of the new air-conditioning system at Cabin John Middle School with the new mega window units, and she reported that the staff was elated. Everyone was anxious to ascertain how the system works. Second, there had been an article in the Montgomery Journal reporting the procedures that were used to collect retiree health insurance premiums and the irregularities that were alleged in 1993.

  • 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.

I have seen this frsthand in the good work our community performs to help those in need. We are a community that protects one another, works to create affordable housing and ensures people have the food they need. It is because of this that I have repeatedly said that we are one of the world’s most welcoming communities. Sometimes compassion needs a plan. For this reason I’m honored to present this Food Security Plan to the County Council and the community. This is not meant to be a plan that tells others what to do, but rather empowers them to do what needs to be done.
