10/1 TJ Admissions School Board Meeting Cancelled

[Anonymous]

I just saw the meeting planned for 10/1 was cancelled. What's going on?

LCPS and PWCS are demanding the regional governing board that they are entitled to be set up.

That idiot Brabrand not only managed to anger many Asians but also managed to upset other jurisdictions by not even consulting them regarding the new proposal in his rush to ram the proposal through.

The meeting was moved, not canceled.

I’m beginning to think Branbrand develops his plants by scribbling them on a pickled juice splotched napkin over lunch. How did he not consult with stakeholders, including the TJ community, FCPS community, participating jurisdictions, and legislature, then released a range of options for consideration. Rather than blindsiding folks with a half assed plan. This was worth following a process and doing correctly.

For example, why aren’t we talking about finalists interviewing with a TJ faculty in the area that aligns with their stated interest for an interview? What about not announcing the test in advance? And some years giving the PSAT, the ACT Aspire, the SSAT or a test written by TJ facility. The test changed each year. Sometimes multiple choice, sometimes essay, sometime a combo. No kid knows in advance, so now kid could prep and no test center could get hold of the test. Get a counselors red, like for college, with every core teacher contributing a blurb. Lottery from the whole county, not by regions. Or give each regions seats in apportion to applicants. I think keeping proctored short essays is important. But throw in real ethical deli as and pale s that can be solved a number of ways, and give weight o outside then bod.

There are ways to make the test less prep panel.

This lottery is designed to decrease the number of Asians. Which means Brabrand also needed an opinion from,egal counsel.

Reform TJ. But be thoughtful. It really is okay if it doesn’t go into effect until next year. Schools gave the SAT and are giving the PSAT. They can give the test.

This is like lady summer, when he tried to ram through something complex (hybrid learning) got pushback and realized he hadn’t thought through logistics and had to backtrack.

His contact had better not be reviewed.

These are excellent suggestions.

It is well established that the current FCPS Superintendent is an IDIOT, way over his head and absolutely clueless on how to solve any problem.

TJ admissions is sucking up all of the energy of the school board. I would hope that they would tell Brabrand to go back, so his homework and give them options in the early Winter.

Right now return to school should be the number #1 priority. This is ridiculous

Sure. It's no biggie that there were 0 Black students in the Class of 2024 (some were admitted but they declined). NBD
