The Decision Around School Calendars Should Remain Local
admin Posted On August 31, 2016


This afternoon Governor Larry Hogan, alongside Comptroller Peter Franchot, announced and signed an executive order that mandates all Maryland public schools start after Labor Day, conclude by June 15, and include 180 days of instruction. While the Montgomery County Board of Education certainly appreciates the Governor and Comptroller’s interest in supporting beach communities on the Eastern Shore, we strongly oppose any attempt to usurp local decision making around school calendars. Prohibiting schools from starting before Labor Day ignores critical issues faced by schools and the potential negative instructional impact on students. Determining the school calendar is complicated and requires balancing educational requirements, operational issues, and unique community needs all in the interest of students. As a key stakeholder and the largest school district in the state, we are disappointed that the Governor and Comptroller did not include us in their dialogue on this issue.

有關在學校啟用警員隨身戴相機的重要消息
admin Posted On October 16, 2015


尊敬的家長和監護人, 蒙郡公立學校(MCPS)和蒙郡警察局通過每天的合作確保學校環境的安全, 讓學生能夠在學校安心學習。我今天給您寫這封信正是出於這種合作精神。隨後附上蒙郡警察局局長J. Thomas Manger致民眾的一封信, 內容是關於為該局部分警員配備隨身相機的一項試點計畫。這些相機在警員處理各種突發事件時會啟動。 截至目前為止, 我們還從未在學校使用過這些相機, 因為我們一直在與警察局合作確定這樣做可能在各方面帶來的影響。但是, 蒙郡警察局從2015年10月12日起, 在處理學校的突發事件時也將啟用隨身配戴的相機。目前, 在Northwest, Seneca Valley和Walt Whitman三個高中學區服務的駐校警員(SRO)將參加配戴隨身相機的試點計畫。此外, 因公或因私到學校來的警員或處理在學校物業中發生的突發事件的警員也可能會配戴相機。 配戴隨身相機的試點計畫是警察局推行的一項新方案。Manger局長和其他人士已經向我保證, 他們將監督這些相機在學校的使用, 確保在使用相機過程中符合警察局的制度和規程。請認真查閱Manger局長致民眾的這封信, 確保您了解在學校啟用和不啟用這些相機的各種情況。如果您有問題, 我鼓勵您與警察局或孩子所在學校的校長聯繫。 致禮, Larry A. Bowers 代理教育總監 有關在學校啟用警員隨身戴相機的重要消息

A Testing Strategy that Improves Student Learning
admin Posted On September 17, 2015


Assessment is an important part of any educational program—that was true before the era of No Child Left Behind and it is true today. But over the past several years, our students have lost too much instructional time to tests that really aren’t improving teaching and learning, and so it is time that our assessment strategy evolves to better support student learning.
