[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montgomery Perspective has the coalition's full statement:

Still no clarity about why they think this is what the plan is, which it clearly is not:

[i][b]MCPS should forge ahead with implementing its plan, making sure to prioritize traditionally disadvantaged areas before adding programs elsewhere.[/b][/i][/quote]

I completely agree with the Black and Brown Coalition that they should phase the implementation of programs and NOT place new programs in wealthy schools until they have successfully established programs in underserved areas. But from what I have heard from MCPS, they are vehemently against anything other than immediate dissolution of the consortia and immediate creation of all the proposed programs that next year's 8th graders will be applying to. So unfortunately, they will be implementing programs in wealthy schools along with all the other schools, and those programs in the wealthy schools will be the most likely to succeed for obvious reasons. We'll end up with a system where kids in low income schools with access to cars will travel to wealthy schools for programs and low income kids will mostly not be able to access specialized programs.[/quote]
