Are you aware that your input is part of the Rationale for Plan 12? Do you officially support the demographics of that plan? If not, you may want to reach out to the school board and have them edit that rationale.
Hi-
I represent Trailside Middle School and they are having a panel of current college students and I hope that members of our group may have current college students that would like to participate. I would love the panel to represent the diversity of the students in LCPS!
Blurb:
“At TMS, we are offering a college panel of current college students (community, 4 year, vocational, graduate) to come in and answer pre-screened questions from our 7th and 8th graders. There will be two different panel sessions. In their sixth grade year, both grades visited a VA college (current 7th graders went to JMU last year).”
The date is on November 24th with the timeframe breakdown:
8:30: arrival to TMS
9:00-9:45: 1st panel
10:40-11:15: 2nd panel
Optional brown bag lunch opportunity from 11:50-1:15 for those who can stay. We will feed you
If you are home that day and interested, please complete the below form:
Congratulations! Phyllis Randall, Former MSAAC CHAIR, is our new Board of Supervisor Chairperson! Our work is just beginning... Let's continue to actively pledge our support to our elected officials who understand the changing needs of our diverse county!
Make your vote count!
Tomorrow, November 3, 2015 is election day! As you know, MSAAC has been working hard to cultivate effective partnerships with our school board, administrators, and teachers.
Our educational community is changing rapidly. MSAAC continues to support a school board that recognizes, honors and supports the growing diversity of LCPS, and is willing to provide the necessary resources to all students based on their needs. As parents, it is imperative that we vote.
Thank you for your work thus far. I look forward to many more work sessions, as we charge forward to build an exciting learning environment that is welcoming for all of our children.
Zerell Johnson-Welch
MSAAC CHAIR, LCPS

Wonderful spending time with the Broad Run and Briar Woods clusters tonight at the Minority Student Achievement Advisory Committee meeting tonight featuring Superintendent Dr. Williams and Director of Research Dr. Tyler. It was exciting too that it appears Briar Woods HS will have MSAAC delegates this year!
Dr. Eric Williams, LCPS Superintendent is the speaker at tonight's MSAAC General Body Meeting. Discussing Vision 20/20
Excellent PDF issued by the Department of Education in English and Spanish that might be useful for all of our parents!
Thank you teachers, parents, administrators, and school board members for attending last night's very important meeting! The turn out was great. We hope you walked away with a bit more knowledge and passion on how to advocate and engage your child for success!
Because we sparked a lot of discussion and insight on how to vett our prospective teacher candidates, Dr.Hough and Dr. Jones have agreed to return to continue the discussion. Please post or inbox your questions, thoughts and recomendations here, or email directly to our MSAAC Secretary. We will share with the HR team in advance. And it will guide the format for the follow up meeting. We need your input on how to enhance their recruitment strategies, And how to retain, and support a more diverse pool of skilled and passionate teachers. Lets keep this coversation going!!! The power point will be posted to the LCPS website. Stayed tuned for follow up details!
