Teachers union urges MCPS to halt proposed regional programming changes

In the latest pushback against a Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) proposal for a regional program model for middle and high schools, the Montgomery County Education Association (MCEA) announced Thursday its opposition to the plan and asked the district to stop moving forward until all stakeholders are adequately involved.  

“While MCEA supports the goal of the proposed model – to increase access and equity to enriched instruction – the Association does not have confidence that the plan, as currently proposed, will meet that goal in any meaningful sense,” MCEA, the local teachers union, said in a Thursday statement. 

The MCEA Representative Assembly voted Wednesday night to oppose the district’s proposed regional program model, the statement said. The union is advocating for the creation of a new programming plan that includes MCEA input on the design and limits financial and other impacts on district initiatives “that are successful and should serve as models for expansion.” ..
