[Anonymous]

27 total.
10 White - 37%
8 Black - 30%
5 Hispanic - 19%
2 Two or more races - 7%
1 Asian - 4%

MCPS is 14% Asian and the magnets used to be more than 50% Asian before the changes. What gives? Why were Asian voices shut out of the selection process?

MCPS won't hire Asian Americans and never selects them to be parent community coordinators so they don't have any Asian Americans to draw from for their committees.

Can you tell us more? What are parent community coordinators? Have there been discrimination complaints/suits about their hiring practices?

You can see right here that there are several parent community coordinators providing support in Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese languages.

But parent community coordinators have nothing to do with magnet program admissions. Not even sure why this is being mentioned in this thread.

MCPS professional staff is less than 6% Asian.

None for TPMS, and that is the one that is more popular with Asian American students.

But that's still more than ONE Asian person. Given the controversial and racially charged changes you would think they would make an effort to be more inclusive. Surprised.

There were only 3 men, and boys are 50% of MCPS! Why were male voices shut out of the selection process?

Also, there are not many Asians in MCPS, though there are many Asian-Americans.

That's not the same at all and you're making that argument in bad faith.

Men dominate our society. There was no decrease or expected decrease in boys in the programs. In fact, MCPS had access to gender so they tried to balance the programs.

MCPS knew it was trying to decrease Asian representation in the magnets and they knew this was controversial.

If this is typical of the quality of argument the Office of Civil Rights received, I'm astonished that they're investigating.

3 on each committee. 3 men, 9 women for Eastern, 3 men, 12 women for Takoma Park.

At this rate of bungling, I'm amazed MCPS managed to keep the lights on in the schools...
