[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STEM is assigned to Wheaton HS. Can anyone provide feedback how is it there? Up until this fall I have never even heard about Wheaton's STEM. All I knew is Blair's program. [/quote]
You haven't heard of it because their programs were only open to DCC students but within the DCC they are very popular.[/quote]

Wheaton has a very successful engineering program which share a few teachers with Blair SMCS program. Now the regional model plans to add the SMCS component to the Wheaton existing program to make it a true STEM one, which sounds great for Wheaton and its region. However, there’s no money allocated for hiring new staffs for the expansion. Wheaton is facing the risk of loosing some of the co-shared teachers as Blair belongs to a different region, and both Wheaton engineering and Blair SMCS are going to lose staff because of the across-board reduction in funding support as they stretch thin to these regional programs.[/quote]

No additional money for new staff when the overall number of students is decreasing.[/quote]
