  • 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.

Coming to Boston for PoCC/SDLC is historically significant as NAIS originated at offices near Faneuil Hall on Tremont Street.

  • 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.
