ANSWER:

The cost to expand CollegeTracks, Inc. program into 5 additional schools is $1,800,000.

ACES is a partnership between MCPS, Montgomery College, and the Universities at Shady Grove. Expanding the ACES program to serve 1,000 students in grades 9 and 10 would cost MCPS approximately $135,000 for a college access program liaison position. This position would be required to manage and coordinate the planning and implementation of the Grade 9 – 10 ACES model, college access partnerships, liaison with multiple career readiness and workforce initiatives, and other college access/career readiness activities.
