[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regional model starts 2027 not 2026[/quote]

No matter current 8th grader or 7th grader, they both face significant loss of magnet teachers and electives for junior and senior years when regional model kicks in. Blair SMCS will receive about 25% of its current staff FTE so some magnet teachers have to leave.[/quote]

This speculation is a question for another thread. [/quote]

This is not speculation. I asked Jennie Franklin in person and this is the answer I got: "RMIB and Blair SMCS will receive the same amount of funding with other programs in their respective regions in the regional model". and you can do the math. The current funding level can be checked in the 2016 METIS report. But of course, CO staffers have different "clarifications" all over the place so what Jennie Franklin spoke could be totally BS. In case they can receive the same level of funding, other programs in the same region will receive even less. [/quote]

I don't understand why STEM programming for highly able students has been cast in such a negative light in this county, as if such an education isn't necessary to advance the world. Anybody else see the CRISPR students from Georgia that aired on 60 minutes last night?

As a magnet parent, I received a summary newsletter for past year's achievement from magnet foundation this morning. So many shining records from our current students and alumni for just the past year from national 1st place to international gold medal, from national academy fellows to first alumni in space, etc. Yet, Taylor and BOE just go straight ahead and put down every of their efforts to destroy this 40-year successful program that produced numerous alumni shining everywhere on U.S. STEM fields.

SHAME ON YOUR, DR. TAYLOR and BOE![/quote]
