10/16 Board of Ed meeting

[Anonymous]

The sample criteria-based biomedical program is just honor classes + IB courses. So basically a half-IB + half-AP? What are the biomedical courses 1,2,3?

I think it is meant to replicate the existing humanities program at Poolesville.

IB is separate and the Region 1 IB magnet is planned for BCC

No, it's more like Poolesville Humanities. IB includes both humanities and math/science.

They just changed again. Who can keep up?

They keep saying it's an iterative process, so expect changes to happen.

The process should be METHODICAL, not iterative.

They are clearly spending so much staff time on developing this stuff, and yet not leaving any time to get feedback from anyone else outside their offices.

Brand new and not up online yet. The changes I remember is that they are sending the criteria-based humanities program from BCC (bad) to Whitman (much worse), and that they are letting Einstein keep only the music part of the performing arts magnet (theater and dance at Northwood.)

Einstein also has medical science and healthcare

We are DCC, over 60% URM and FARMs. As I talk to more people in the community, it is clear many do not like how consequential decisions are being made for them without their consent, and how they will be prohibited from applying to renowned magnet programs.

Northwood should have the humanities program. Not frigging Whitman! My goodness, how out of touch are they?

They are really going all in on the "screw the DCC" this year, aren't they?

They've learned from Trump - if you're going to do horrible things, do LOTS of horrible things as it is harder to fight ALL the horrible things than one horrible thing.

My guess is that at the meeting she mentioned in August when they presented them an already-baked proposal, they chewed MCPS out for not genuinely engaging them earlier, and she was laughing remembering that.

Einstein has no advanced science and math classes so what does this look like.

1. That's not true
2. Obviously there would be new classes for the program

There’s no interest at Einstein to hold that magnet!

It also gets the interest based public service program and the interest based Middle College (MC?) program.

They’ve always had the Mc. I don’t think that many would choose public service. They need to poll families and ask what they want.
