Parent Information Meetings Scheduled

The Board of Education has asked the Superintendent of Schools to hire a consultant to do an in-depth review and analysis of how existing school and cluster boundaries support or impede the effective use of school facilities in MCPS. There will be four Community Conversation style public meetings to aid in gathering input regarding the scope of work for the consultant, the framework for the assessment of the district’s school and cluster boundaries, and how the consultant will focus their efforts and analysis.
NOTE: The third public meeting is April 23 from 7 - 9 p.m. at Walter Johnson High School.
