Program Analysis Lets Shut It Down

The original Blair Magnet was created in the 1980s as part of MCPS’s voluntary desegregation strategy (funded by a federal grant), designed to draw students of different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds together. Now, a regional plan that narrows access by zipcode risks reversing that progress. It could draw scrutiny under federal and state civil rights frameworks.

Federal Civil Rights scrutiny? Now? Lol.

There is a difference between:

And
- Offering the opportunity for every MCPS student to access the same courses at their home schools - this is what people want. There are kids of every level at every school, but the cohorts at each level are different sizes. You can't say the 50 kids at Whitman "need" a class but 20 similar kids at Kennedy do not need that class.

What is the list of courses beyond what is offered that you desire and how would lack of demand for such courses work if it were to happen? From where in a school budget should the funds come? What would you get rid of at your school?

MCPS should be doing the course analysis. If you are curious, look it up, many schools put their course bulletins online.

The budget comes from not doing these dumb regional programs.

MCPS has done the course analysis and is offering a set of the same courses at all schools. So we are all set, then, and no one should have a problem.

False. They have not analyzed courses. They have analyzed certain programs and are pretending to make it all equal (but using the word equity since they apparently don't have a dictionary).

What course do you believe that they are missing offering in every school that should be part of the core offering? MCPS has already indicated that through Calculus and AP Stats needs to be offered at all schoools. I think that's acceptable as only 3 years of HS math are required. Most if not all schools offer AP Lang and AP Lit or IB HL English. I've heard some schools are missing AP Bio or AP Chem. Outside of this what needs to be present for it to be a consistent core offering go classes?

For example, Whitman has 3 different AP physics courses and many schools have zero AP physics courses. Again, this is an analysis that MCPS should have done, but hasn't.

To earn a MD high school diploma students need 4 years of math btw

What school have zero AP Physics courses? Is it that the school has zero courses or that enough students didn't express interest? And by zero, I mean the course is not even offered on the enrollment card for students to register?

Look up Northwood, Einstein and Kennedy (google name of the school and "course bulletin"). While you are there compare their AP social studies offerings to Whitman and tell me why Whitman needs the resources that come with a magnet humanities program.

They still haven't even bothered to look this up lol

They just demand information to waste people's time and then distract from it if we invest the time to post it.

Note Northwood has a humanities program that benefits from the DCC, but STILL has fewer AP social studies classes than Whitman. But sure, DCC parents are just trying to prevent others from having their rich resources

No, true. The courses are all right here:
https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1738166424/mcpsorg/wpwxg4iafryjeqtl2jja/MCPSHSProgramofStudies2025-26Final.pdf

This is not a course analysis. It does not tell you what is offered at each school or how many kids are enrolled in each course at each school. This is just a list of courses. Why would you lie about this?

No one’s lying. Or maybe you are just deciding what analysis is and not telling anyone your definition.

I think principals and school administrators figure out the needs of their schools and can figure out how to work towards the needs of their student populations. The results are whats offered at schools, which as you can see from that long document, is complicated by needing to offer multiple tracks and lots of offerings.

Principals should look out for all students but they don’t. They can only make so much work with limited staffing.

The problem is the MCPS analysis only looks at programs, which are composed of courses. But many courses are not part of a program. Just because Northwood has a humanities "program" doesn't mean it has more humanities courses.
than Whitman. In actuality, Whitman has more and they aren't shared with several other schools as in the DCC.

Whitman can keep its courses. But why would you place a magnet humanities program there? It will siphon off the kids that would do AP social studies at other schools. Why not recognize ALL.of Whitman's assets, not just its named programs? It already has advanced math, science, engineering and social studies classes that other schools in Region 1 do not have. It does not need a criteria based academic magne program that will just hurt advanced course offerings at other schools.

I’m not opposed to sticking the humanities magnet somewhere else, but this thread is about ending all of the program analysis. There are at least two other threads for the Whitman humanities magnet.

This is one of the many reasons why the program model will HARM east county high schools. You just don't want people to share this information. I would love for the regional program proposal to be shut down as that would prevent the probable harms I have described above. If nothing else, it is evidence that MCPS has developed a reckless and harmful proposal and needs to be stopped in its tracks immediately.

Do you realize that in relation to messaging you seem to be the one opposed to equity? The new regional programs are touted as being more equitable for a number of reasons. Opposing them WHOLE CLOTH would appear to ignore and even denigrate the issues they are attempting to solve.

I've already explained above why the proposal creates the opposite of equity. If you don't agree that's fine, but explain how you think an academic magnet at Whitman promotes equity (maybe look up the word equity before you so that).
