This is an insane list, IMO. Most of these are professional programs that don’t belong in high school. How will they be spread across the 6 regions? What if the one you want isn’t in your region? They’re certainly not proposing putting each of these 15(?) programs in all 6 regions, are they?[/quote]

No, this PP is completely wrong, ignore their post.   There is a list of 7 categories, and the idea is to have 6 regional versions of each of these 7:  Science, Math, and Technology;
 Information Technology, Engineering, & Robotics; 
Global Humanities and Leadership; Finance, Entrepreneurship, and Marketing;
 Arts, Entertainment, and Design; 
 Health and Human Services; and 
Education and Public Service.[/quote]

DP. Tbd this too many programs. So you are going to have 1-2 regional programs per school. MCPS should be focused on providing a good education program at all schools. These programs are smoke and mirror to cover up that MCPS is not doing that now. [/quote]

I will prefer a strong course options in each HS. Keep regional to minumim number of kids like 25-30 in program with 3-4 programs in region. Otherwise we run into situation where one HS in region gets all STEM kids and then whove did nto make it has no course selection in thier home school. Keep regional magnet super lective and provide strong courses in all home schools. Keep bussing to minimum and keep schools stronger.[/quote]
