[quote=Anonymous]Like many other parents, I was disappointed this week by a large waitlist number for a specialty school. Looking at the waitlist online, it appears that thousands of people are interested in these programs, which only have a few hundred spots. That is not counting the people who do not bother applying and stick with private school or their local school because they feel the odds are so small it is not worth it. We pay a lot in taxes. PG County has many under-enrolled schools, and claims that it wants middle class and upper middle class parents in the public school system. It is obvious that specialty schools are what these parents want. How do we advocate for the increased expansion of these schools? This year, the county budget has experienced some relief. Why not use some extra money on specialty school expansion? Who do we need to call/email, and should we do it en masse?[/quote]
