[quote=Anonymous]MCPS can’t even handle what they currently do. They are incompetent.

The programs and the boundaries will shuffle teachers as well as students. Like you mentioned, students would potentially be chosen by lottery and then sign up for classes within a program and then teachers would be assigned to teach those courses. However, MCPS gives overal school teacher allocations to principals befofe then. So it will be a long spring and summer of principals basically playing a shell game to move teachers around and see how to offer it all without enough staff. Every secondary principal will have to act like the shady ones currently do.

Then, there is the transportation piece. A girl just died and we trust MCPS to bus old and new kids at the same time?

Lastly, these programs cost MORE than just changing the boundaries and making sure each school has the staffing and resources needed for basic instruction (included the advanced track).

Those of us asking MCPS to slow down aren’t asking for these hyper specialized programs MCPS claims they will offer. We just want basic electives and AP classes available at all schools. [/quote]
