Yes, we know... you put it on every thread. Wait to see what the Einstein offerings are, given that you aren't satisfied currently, maybe it will be better.

I am not the poster you think I am. Einstein offers more courses than many other high schools. I still despise Taylor and most of my neighbors are livid about the regional program model.

What are you talking about? No, they don’t and while they advertise some classes on the course bulletin they don’t actually happen. The have very little in terms of stem. They have very little in some of the arts which is supposed to be what they specialize in. With the reduction of students, and the new forced academies, things will be cut, and the only things that can be are stem and arts.

The problem is Taylor and CO still don’t understand or refuse to recognize that course bulletin is nothing closer than what is actually offered on the plate. Their course bulletin catelog published in this January was totally useless BS, and they make every so-called “improvements” based on that piece of BS.

The courses listed in this report for each high school are courses that students were enrolled in during Spring 2025

https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/OLO/Resources/Files/2026_Reports/OLOReport%202026-2.pdf

This is not accurate. Some of the courses aren’t offered.

Exactly. This is what HS principals or APs provided to CO, not what was actually offered in 2025. CO has very weak control over principals.

In other words, we should trust anecdotes from anonymous DCUM posters rather than data from OLO?

Look at the actual course offerings at the school level. Our school lists extra AP classes and electives but they don't offer them when you go to sign up.

Please cite the specific errors you are alleging in the OLO report.

Its been posted in many threads. The BOE, central office and Taylor probably read this site and don't care, same as principals.

If you don't have anything specific to cite, you're just trolling.

Add SSIMS community to the list as Taylor is gutting their enrollment to 55% utilization to set up the school to be closed.

No, BOE will not fire him. He might want to quit if he touches the bottom line of some politician, but he won't quit nor get fired just because he pissed us peasants (including those BOES members) off.

For a different reason. Taylor can piss people off multiple ways. It's his gift.

I've had kids in MCPS for 18 years. I've seen the OLO report, and don't know what you're claiming is inaccurate.

I support cutting out that inequitable program—there are lots of sports that should remain in private sector.

Or, offer it at all schools. Gymnastics is a good sport to have.

People, there is not unlimited money for all these things unless you want them to raise our taxes again. I wish more leaders would make hard choices that may piss people off. You can’t please everyone.

You do realize what happens at individual schools varies and while your kids have great course offerings, some of our kids schools don’t have that and what is being said is offered is not. Stay in your bubble.

There are huge disparities in the schools so clearly there is money. Just bring it to all schools.

They wouldn’t fire him. But he might agree to “step down for family reasons” with a BOE gifted severance package.

Add to the list MCCPTA and XMinds/Austim organizations. And probably safe to say that the OIG is not a fan.

I mean, it's a subset of the original reason, since he's lowering the utilization as a step toward school closure, which they're already upset about. But ok, I guess.
