We will keep renowned successful countywide programs but just make them regional (Answer in FAQ #1: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/academic-programs-analysis/faqs/)
Now their latest FAQ removes SMCS but change it to "STEM Pathway" (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tQGbZGBPA6PPDW5Fq6UwKThPXpA-Vs44KJgUvC-t2M8/edit?tab=t.0): "Both the current countywide magnet and consortia choice models would be phased out for incoming students starting with the Class of 2031 should the BOE approve the regional model proposal. However, the most sought-after programs (like the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program and STEM pathways) are intended to be preserved, and expanded into the six regional models. " |

The plan to close SSIMS and schlep its students to Eastern and Sligo is a "meaningful investment in Silver Spring."
Also that the purple line is a valid contributing factor to close SSIMS. |
| I don't think they believe their lies I just think they know that teachers are mignons and will be forced to go along with anything or their lives and careers can be made in trouble if they don't go along with questionable practices. |
Whose fault is that? I wouldn’t blame the school. |
|
Of course you blame the school. Most clubs have a teacher sponsor and / or some kind of admin requirement. |
