This egroup helps neighbors working to improve Kensington, Takoma Park, Silver Spring, and Wheaton within the Downcounty Consortium (DCC). The new DCC includes neighborhoods in the current MC Public Schools (MCPS) clusters of: Northwood, Blair, Einstein, Kennedy, and Wheaton High Schools.

Though we have many common concerns, our current focus is to work with PTAs and neighborhood associations to discuss, plan, AND ADVOCATE for best ideas to make sure that each of the 5 DCC high schools is attractive.
When we identify deficiencies we also help work to rally citizen support behind solutions.

Our expanding rapid response network makes policy makers HEAR OUR VOICE LOUD AND CLEAR.

KEEP UP THE FIGHT FOR OUR DCC SCHOOLS!

SPREAD THE WORD TO NEIGHBORS!!! MCPS parents are cooperating with the larger community. Good schools are only one part of a strong community.
