[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what they are proposing is to make more magnets, but also restrict access to those zones. So, if you look at what they started to do with IB, they created regional IB programs but kept RMIB as the flagship. This has been unevenly successful, because the "best" kids still went to RMIB and there were not enough kids at the regional programs to create a strong cohort. So it will be interesting to see if they learn from that, or double down. [/quote] IMO part of the problem with the original regional model was the focus it had on shuffling better students to underperforming schools. Regional IB at Kennedy for example. It reduced the appeal of the program. In addition, I don't know if it's still the case, but in the early days there was no option for activity buses for out-of-DCC kids. So it did not give the Regional IB kids the option of participating in some school activities that would be available at home school. [/quote]
