[quote=Anonymous]I’m trying to figure out how many students will get into programs in the regional model MCPS is proposing. They haven’t given definite numbers but they told the county council that they want to have one section for the CTE programs and 2-3 sections of the academic programs. I assume a section means one class worth, so about 30 students.

I made some guesses about how many students would be in each program. That comes to 2,400 program seats per region/600 program seats per grade (14,000 countywide/3,600 per grade).

That’s a definitely big increase for a lot of schools, but it sucks for the DCC and NEC. I read that about 1,000 kids per year pick a school that isn’t their home school in the DCC. I think it’s about 700 in the NEC.  Most of them pick based on the academy programs at each school, which are about the same as all the programs MCPS want to create.

I don’t get how MCPS can call this equity when it’s such a big loss of choice and options for so many kids.
