Additional Information about MCPS:

MCPS is committed to an All Means All approach to ensuring student success. While many of MCPS students achieve at the highest levels, not all have had access, opportunities, and resources needed to meet their full potential. MCPS is committed to addressing disparities in student outcomes by closing gaps in opportunity and achievement for all students, in all classrooms, in all our schools. The MCPS All In: Equity and Achievement Framework provides the purpose, path, and plan to ensure success for all students. The Board commissioned a number of important studies such as the Metis Report and the Education Resources Strategies Report (ERS) to examine and provide data on equitable resource and program allocation to support the vision outlined in the Equity and Achievement Framework. The Board has emphasized a research-based approach to decision making with a commitment to using an equity lens.
