[quote=Anonymous]We have STEM courses and perhaps we need more of them, but what we don’t need is one STEM magnet that chews up time and attention either because FCPS acts like it’s the only school that matters or because they are constantly tying themselves into knots trying to come up with new ways to get more Black and Hispanic kids into that school.

It is time to stop the bleeding, turn TJ back into a neighborhood school, and make the boundary changes that would follow from having another high school available that exclusively serves FCPS students.

Anything else is just going to create more challenges.  For example, if they cap admissions by middle school, how do they deal with the additional overcrowding at some high schools or respond to the parents who no longer want a gazillion AAP kids at Carson?  Or what if that just results in more geographic diversity, but not more racial or economic diversity at TJ?  They could be at this forever, all while neglecting their other responsibilities.[/quote]
