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...
It would appreciated by all of us involved in our children's education, if people would get the information from the source, verify questions and do their...
I am presenting at my school tomorrow, and for me to do good PR for CAC I need to know everything that we are involved with. HOw many members do we have? Etc....

MINDY, I CAN AND WILL SPEAK FOR MYSELF. THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD CAC! THE CHAIRPERSON DO NOT TAKE THE OFFICE LIGHTLY AND ALWAYS HAVE THE INTEREST OF ALL...
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...
As another person who, fortunately, is a member of this Budget Task Force, I'd like to provide another perspective. I was very encouraged, excited and...

Bonnie: Below is the COMAR (Code of Maryland) Requirement for Science education--- "they shall provide an instructional program in science each year for...
Steve, We tried the COMAR route but apparently the semester courses for Science & Social Studies is acceptable. When Science Assessments get in place, things ...
Gee, That COMAR science stuff sure is specific... I bet the there are alot more specifics in "COMAR" regarding all those soft and fuzzy, feel good social...
The current middle school students receive a semester of science for 86 minutes per day across the county which does not violate any COMAR requirements. The...
I have heard that all of the high schools in AA County have been directed to make schedule changes for all students who are currently in jeopardy of failing...
I think the schedule last year of the 6 schools with the 'flexible' block would've made more sense. At least they had both science & social studies all year,...
The following information was sent to me, and I thought CAC members might be interested: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can ...
The rubber obviously meets the road when the local system needs more money---- and they wonder why only 17% of the population attends public schools, and only...
The flexible block would not benefit the kids that AAC is really trying to reach the most because of the day to day inconsistency of not having the same ...
Jessica, Below is the answer I got from Kathy Kubic referencing the question you had. Sam Sam, MSDE recently changed the minimum graduation requirement in ...
Sam -- You mentioned that recess is to be restored at all elementary schools to a full 20 minutes per day exclusive of the moving period as per a directive ...
