[quote=Anonymous]In Hutchings op-ed he writes:

3. Dismantle intraschool segregation. Public schools developed widespread tracking and barriers to rigorous courses within schools after integration in the late 1960s and early 1970s. These practices have hindered BIPOC students over several decades and continued to create segregation in education today. Public schools have created intentional and unintentional mechanisms to keep BIPOC students from accessing rigorous curricula, including talented and gifted programs, specialized instructional practices, and stringent guidelines to enroll in certain advanced-level courses.

Sounds like a confirmation TAG is going away in ACPS.

Given that ACPS/Hutchings has continually made the point that the awful bigot T.C. Williams started the program with the exact intent that Hutchings cites and the disastrous central office management of TAG for the last few years, I'm not surprised.

Wish he'd focused more of his time on getting BIPOC kids INTO programs rather than writing a book about how BIPOC kids are shut out of programs that he's been running since 2018.
