[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yeah I would be very very cautious about optics from here on out if you are opposing the regional program model.  even what you write here.  [/quote]

The Black and Brown Coalition recommended implementing programs in underserved areas first before adding programs elsewhere and I think that's a fantastic idea that a lot of people should support and amplify and hold MCPS accountable for, especially if they are going to dismiss all opposition based on the opinion of two people with financial ties to BOE/MCPS.[/quote]

But rolling this program model out will shift the highest performing kids from lower performing schools. For example, in Region 1, expect Einstein families to flee and go to B-CC or Blair if they can.[/quote]

Dude, those kids already flee to Wheaton, RMIB and Blair if they can. [/quote]

Yes, kids are fleeing to from Einstein and Kennedy to Wheaton because it's a newer building.

But they aren't able to flee to RMIB and Blair. MCPS admitted that the enrollment numbers for both RMIB and Blair's magnet programs show that kids come overwhelmingly from [b]W schools such as Blair, [/b]Whitman, Churchill, etc. This is in fact part of their justification for dismantling the countywide magnet programs, since only a handful of school communities are benefitting from the program.[/quote]

Is Blair now considered a W?[/quote]
