Answer includes Superintendent Starr saying he will not give families his vision for special education students in MCPS, students relegated to basement, when I say I won't do it, what about every other group...
The reason I asked him to post a SPED vision along side his State of Schools speech is because he hit every major educational issue or group in that 9 page, 30 minute speech except SPED. His reason for not posting a SPED vision along side the speech is that other groups would then ask to be covered; intead he could refer them back to his State of Schools Speech.
In any event, I do think we should pursue his offer to provide an explicit vision.
Totally, completely, utterly UNACCEPTABLE.
ReplyDeleteAnd, FYI, speaking of basements, Dr. Starr, have you visited the "Bridge" program at Gaithersburg HS?
