Per MCPS:
On Friday, October 25th, MCPS superintendent Jack Smith released his Recommended FY 2021 Capital Budget and the FY 2021-2026 Capital Improvements Program.
Below are a few highlights:
Each week Takoma Park Middle School teacher, Maura Moore, highlights one student in each of her classes that has done something noteworthy (kind to a classmate, perseverant with an academic struggle, exemplary work, etc.)
Ridgeview Middle School in Gaithersburg has added a lactation room for teachers.
As far as we know, it’s the first of its kind in MCPS school.
MCPS Superintendent Jack Smith has released his recommendation following the boundary study for some of MoCo’s upcounty high schools.
The study and recommendation affect Clarksburg, Northwest, and Seneca Valley High School.
The move also brings MCPS into alignment with other regional school systems, including Frederick, Howard and Prince George’s counties, as well as Fairfax County, all of which require 60 college credits for substitute teacher eligibility.
MCPS received feedback from partners, including Montgomery College, the Montgomery County Council of PTAs (MCCPTA), school-based staff, teachers, principals and employee associations.
