It’s not. They are in the process of plying the high school model they have created to middle schools

Fact: MCPS is preparing a presentation on the middle school program analysis.

Speculation: MCPS is getting rid of the MSMC.

I don’t know how to share a screenshot, but slide 48 from the Program Analysis presentation given during the August 21 BOE meeting states the MS Program Proposal is scheduled for October. This means things ARE changing. People need to wake up!

The boundary study presenters at the in person meetings over the summer made it very clear that the DCC is no more. The MSMC is part of the DCC

I predict the presentation will have Moran in the audience, sans wedding ring, cosplaying as an interested parent. Then there will be a follow up presentation to respond to the critical feedback received, led by Moran with wedding ring cosplaying as someone who cares about children.

You can go ahead and do nothing. But if you care about this, now is the time to act.

What can be done now that can't be done in a couple of weeks?

I would start rallying parents now to influence what is presented at the next Board meeting.

The proposed plan is for DCC to be dismantled and put into regions 1 and 3. When current 7th grade students, they are to go to their new designated local HS.

MSMC schools, unlike DCC high schools, are whole school magnets. If MCPS takes away the MSMC system (by requiring, for example, all students who attend ES XYZ to go to their new designated MS Loiederman, ES ABC to go to Argyle, etc, this will in effect destroy these MS magnet programs because the students would no longer be choosing their MS based on interest. All students attending ES XYZ may not necessarily like the arts. This would be a terrible shame.

Should say “When current 7th grade students reach 9th grade, they are to go to their new designated local HS.” Posted too quickly.

It would be horrible that the DCC is treated like the rest of the county? That all students from an elementary school attends the same middle school? Hard disagree. We need to save money and this seems like an obvious solution.

And if we must keep these magnets, they should be placed around the county and not just in one tiny area.

What do you mean "I would"? Are you not an MCPS parent? Are you just not planning on doing this but want to tell other people to do it?

Wonder how MSMC selection process would work for next year if it's just going to be gone the following year? What's the point in selecting based on interest if it's only for one year?

It’s not going to be gone as of now—CO did not propose anything about this yet. I just said what could happen to MSMC schools if they dismantle DCC so that the region has the ES-MS-HS home school cluster system most of the county operates by.

Are you not American? This is a standard way of talking here.
