Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the holiday season. MCCPTA received a little gift from MCPS-- School Profiles and the first downloadable excel spreadsheets are now available! Links are below. Be sure to look at each of the 4 pages on the School Profiles. You can see them by the whole district or by individual schools.

Advocates need more downloadable datasets, so be sure to hit that feedback button!! The information you will see on the data dashboards will definitely help you know what you'd like to have in comprehensive spreadsheets or in downloadable tables so that we can synthesize the data.

Also think about other visual data we'd like to see, or tabs. For instance, environmental health and facility characteristics like testing for lead in the water, field hardness, radon testing, HVAC rating, and the Facility Indicators.

Congratulations, all the advocacy moved this needle and each time we added this priority to our Advocacy Priorities made a difference!
