THE OCTOBER CAC MEETING WITH THE FORUM OF OPEN COURT PANELIST WAS VERY INFORMATIVE. SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO HAVE MY QUESTION ANSWERED, I WAS WONDERING. HOW MANY...
The following was in Sunday's Capital Gazette. Apparently, a reporter for the paper was at our County-Wide CAC meeting and she wrote the story below: "READING...
I think mid-October of its first year is way too soon to judge Open Court overall. Sam held a county CAC meeting last spring, with an assistant principal from...
When you have a child who is not being challenged, how long do you wait for a new program to work? That is what I'm experiencing along with many of my ...
You sure hit a couple of nails on the head. While Open Court, given time and attention, may be an excellent program, the fourth and fifth garde parents are...
Lisa, I agree. My 5th grader comes home everyday complaining about how bored she is with Open Court. I can't understand why Eric Smith is so enamored with a...
I was disappointed to learn that the Superintendent has established a new task force on school operations and budget, and that they, rather than the CAC, will...
While I haven't read that article regarding a task force, if what you say it true, I agree with your thoughts. Everyone is a member of the CAC, no need to ...
In years past that's the way the CAC operated, by forming committees that is. This sounds like a good agenda item for our next CAC meeting. Lisa Cox In a...

Here's a copy of the press release by the BoE If you look closely, there are people from different parent groups on the task force. I am on the Board of the...
I believe this TASK FORCE and it's members could do no more or less than any taxpaying citizen of Anne Arundel County. If the Superintendent needs a group of...
Peg, This task force has been in the planning since mid-summer. CAC members on the panel include myself, Frank Wise and Chris Maranto. Should this have been a...

I'm not sure that I understand what the statement below means. I haven't really noticed anyone "sounding off" on the message board. I would like everyone to...
I was so pleased to see the positive and negative reaction to my posting about the New Task Force. Obviously, the CAC's present membership is fulfilling it's ...
It has come to my attention, that in asking who the members are on the Superintendent's Budget Task Force someone may have taken offense. It was assumed that I...
And while we are on the subject of subjects, I am rather sad that English (Language Arts) and Math are the main concern. That other subjects are deemed not as...
Hi again, Please someone, is there no information out there on the CAC's major initiatives? Who these "key people" are and what roles they may have been...
I would love to have an organizational meeting, too, either after this meeting or at some other convenient time. It is also helpful to review the Board...
It sure seems that way to me, too. In a County built on science & engineering (NSA, Grumman, Naval Academy, etc.), we seem to be the only county whose ...
At our CAC meeting last night, we asked parents to be sure they support the 1% mid-year increase for teachers. We plan to write a letter from the SPMS CAC to...
