[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone knows if the MSMC is also dissolved? Nothing about that in the document.[/quote]

It will be dissolved next. They just didn't want to do it in this go round. But the current MSMC does not align with the new superboundary regions so it has to be dissolved and replaced with something else.

Example: Argyle can't be available to kids who will articulate to Northwood, since Arygle is in Region 3 and they're in Region 1 now.[/quote]

Does that mean in Fall 2026, since DCC is dissolved, an Argyle kid cannot apply to Kennedy IB or Wheaton engineering? But they can apply to anything in Region 1 even if they are not part of the consortium?

Which high school is Loiderman and Parkland zoned to?

They haven't addressed where the MSMC kids who are out of bounds can apply to or did I miss that part?[/quote]

Argyle is part of the Kennedy Cluster and feeds into Kennedy and Wheaton is in the same region as Kennedy, so those programs would be available to an Argyle student.

Parkland and Loiderman both feed into the Wheaton Cluster.

The biggest disruption comes from kids outside of clusters in Region 3, since all of the MSMC schools are now within Region 3. So kids from Einstein, Northwood and Blair clusters will no longer have access to the three MSMC programs after the Boundary changes go into effect next year. Those are already in the programs, however, will be grandfathered in and be allowed to finish.

At least that how's I understand it. Again, MCPS has not said anything specifically about how they will be changing the MSMC other than to say they aren't changing it yet. But I can't see how that is the case since the new regions set up hard boundaries that have to cut off Northwood, Blair and Einstein kids who are part of Region 1, from accessing the MSMC schools, which are all in Region 3.[/quote]
