After a $1.4 million reduction in funds for dual enrollment classes in Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), roughly 9% of MCPS students enrolled in the college classes may need to pay hundreds of dollars in tuition and fees for the courses.
Monday afternoon, MCPS sent 289 letters to families detailing the potential costs and options for students, according to MCPS spokesperson Liliana Lopez. Enrollment is ongoing, and 3,159 students are enrolled in dual enrollment classes at Montgomery College as of Friday afternoon, according to the community college’s spokesperson Vanessa Zambrano.
