only for those who do not know how to google. |

It is a big deal for those who care about kids academic performance and not sports and games. Why are they so secretive? Why can't there be transparency? Where is the plan? |

They don't plan that far ahead! |

They don't plan at all. This is the crazy world we live in now. |

Yeah google tells me that 6 of the top 10 rated schools in Maryland are in MCPS, just one in Howard and none in Frederick. |

They haven't been secretive at all. Yes, there is a plan and yes, its been discussed within the VA community. Maybe you should go to the meetings and pay attention more. |

Been that way for the past 5 years or so. All about PR. But, hey, they do that well, I guess. |

They have been pretty open about va. This poster would know the answer if they were involved with it. |

no update on the website. Did you hear anything about applications? What are the criteria they are going to use to accept or deny students who applied? Is it also going to be "lottery" as well? like the "lottery magnet" programs? |

Mcps has shared all that. No, it’s not like a lottery magnet. Call them if you need to know your application status. |

Why does no one want to leave their house any more?
Remote school. Remote work. Do you all live in palaces? |

I'm guessing MCPS will need to keep virtual at the school level if the local school can support it. I did some analysis on MCPS data and if they don't, there will be long-term planning issues that occur when they do the County-Wide Boundary Study.
https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/sharedaccountability/reports/ Between 2019 and 2021, MCPS lost 7.2% (5,489) of all MCPS Elementary School students and 3.5% (1,330) of all MCPS Middle School Students and only a handful of High School students (< 0.2%). Three Special Program schools had a significant enrollment drop: John L Gildner Regional Institute for Children & Adolesents lost 10 students (8.9%) *Rock Terrace School lost 14 students (15.2%) Stephen Knolls School lost 20 students (26.3%) Between 2019 and 2020, two schools were shut down (Alternative Programs with 126 students and MCPS Transitions School with 55 students). Between 2019 and 2021, this is how the Elementary Schools stack up in terms of overall student body loss. Schools that gained students are towards the bottom of the list. -36.0% Forest Knolls ES* -25.4% Somerset ES -23.6% Rachel Carson ES -22.0% Wilson Wims ES -18.4% Clopper Mill ES -18.3% College Gardens ES -17.7% Spark M.
