The coalition might be the best-known parent advocacy group in the region. Its members represent several constituencies, including parents of special education and gifted education students and fiscal watchdogs.

Tip: Include the word "minutes" in your search keywords to focus your search on BOE minutes. But note that the search function on the MCPS website has been broken by a redesign on the site by the MCPS Public Information Office. It is no longer possible to restrict your search to just Board of Education minutes.
What does it mean that sites are "surplus"? Are they currently being used or are they "up for grabs" by, say, another school, for instance?
