[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wanna have some fun? Look through the new regional program website for all the errors MCPS didn't catch before taking it live. My favorite is the front page on the button for regions where they left template text in so it says "This is a wider card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This card has even longer content than the first to show that equal height action."

"AP Enrollment in Music Theory junior year" is another good one.

Ap music theory junior year can happen if you plan right but the joke is some of the schools don’t offer it with their music program.  [/quote]

What is musicianship?   How are they going to offer these classes without more staff?[/quote]

There is no new staffing associated with these programs (besides one program coordinator per school.)  So they will have to cut staff from the regular high school classes that the local students take, in order to be able to offer all these program classes.  With that combined with enrollment drops, expect the course selections offered outside of these programs to plummet.  Electives will probably be the most likely place to cut, but really any course that was previously borderline will now probably be gone for local students.  [/quote]

There is no way to keep all the current local programming and do the new regional program well.  They reality is that some local program need to be folded into the regional programs.

And whoever is the school program coordinator is going to need to be fully released from other teaching duties in order to be effective.[/quote]

The coordinator positions starts in 2026-27 as a .4 FTE at each school. They won’t be full time positions until 2031. I don’t know if they’re expected to teach as well. [/quote]

RM lists their program coordinator as 0.6 English/drama in addition to the 0.4 coordinator. Churchill has their 0.4 coordinator position listed as a stand alone position, but that’s won’t get you health insurance.

Northwood has their Middle College coordinator bundled with testing coordinator. Will there also be a separate program coordinator position? Same question for Kennedy that posted an IB coordinator position. If each i udiví duál prigeam has a coordinator at each school and each schooo has a program coordinator, that’s several adults not in the classroom teaching.[/quote]
