Greetings Parents’ Council Reps, Colleagues, and Friends,
The growing risks from Opioids and Fentanyl are alarming and tainted prescription, nonprescription, and recreational drugs can be found throughout the supply chain. Last count, incidents in Montgomery County were up 70%! Fortunately, Narcan is a quick and safe treatment. The Narcan training is only 30 minutes, virtual, and upon completion, attendees are eligible to get a free Narcan kit. Better to have it and not need it, than know someone who needs it and not have it!  
  • The agenda and schedule are available below with this email. Please plan to join before 6:00 PM so we start promptly.
  • Additional information on the Narcan Training (flyer attached)
  • A reminder that you can invite other members of your school community interested in these important topics.

Chair, Parents’ Council

Attention Parents’ Council representatives and friends, please visit the MCPS Equity Accountability Model website. From the MCPS website:

“The MCPS Equity Accountability Model* provides a detailed and focused assessment of school success and publicly monitors and reports all students’ performance. The Equity Accountability Model moves beyond the typical state and federal aggregate reporting to performance reporting for specific focus groups of students who have not experienced the same level of access, opportunity or success as other students.”

We are celebrating over 20 years of service!  The formation of the Parents’ Council of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)came about as an outgrowth of ideas put forth during the 1995 and 1996 NAACP Youth Summits. The Parents’ Council is one of the vehicles created to empower African American and other minority parents to take a more proactive role in the education of their children. The purpose of the Parents’ Council is to provide a forum through which interested citizens may offer assistance, guidance, and support to African American parents and students of Montgomery County (Maryland) Public Schools (MCPS) to pursue the highest quality education possible through encouragement, information sharing, positive motivation, critical evaluation and advocacy.
