It's almost there now.[/quote]

Please, you don’t know what a bad district looks like. So what a few marginal schools lose prop up programs that serve a few hundred kids. The district serves almost 160k students. There are still plenty of strong schools and strong students will still get a strong education.

I’m sure a few weaker schools will get a reality check when they are gauged by only there local cohorts but a couple will emerge as parents flock to what ever is deemed most desirable out of their options. There will always be a rebalancing after a shift and all the whiners are most likely parents of kids who would never make competitive programs but merely salty about their locality losing what ever status they thought they had. Truth is any school that thinks they will take a hit was really already negatively perceived by the masses

You don’t understand the disparities within the schools and how many kids go without so adding more magnets and upper level courses is a good thing.  We either have to move or go private while you still get everything and yet we all pay the same in taxes.  [/quote]

I totally agree that increasing access to high-level courses is definitely a positive thing that I support 100%, the current regional program layout and roll-out plan is nothing closer to move that that direction, but quite opposite direction. I think most people are against the regional program because of this disastrous plan.[/quote]

It will benefit the wealthy schools and create a bigger divide as many of us cannot do the transportation nor want our kids at the schools with the programs our kids need.[/quote]
