Why is MCPS in the process of eliminating school based preschool services for preschoolers with disabilities? They are changing the model to itinerant based services. Perhaps the county council needs to investigate this issue further. MCPS cant extol preschool for poor kids while simultaneously eliminating it for kids with disabilities! Instead of showing up for a photo op with the Secretary, MCPS bigwigs should be explaining to parents of kids with disabilities why their services are being reduced!
