Goal 1: Ensure Success for Every Student
Board of Education Priorities
Organize and optimize resources for improved academic results
Align rigorous curriculum, delivery of instruction, and assessment for continuous improvement of student achievement
Use student, staff, school, and system performance data to monitor and improve student achievement
MCPS will implement the guidelines established in Bridge to Excellence in Public Schools Act. Data will be disaggregated by race, ethnicity, gender, disability status, English proficiency, and economically disadvantaged status. Although Our Call to Action states that all students are expected to attain certain milestones, some students, due to their disabilities, will not achieve these milestones and will follow alternative curricula.
