[quote=Anonymous]I attended the meeting tonight at Blair.  MCPS asked for input on what programs and classes parents want for their kids in high school and to consider how our kids will work in the future or the types of jobs that will be available. We discussed what is working, not working with the current curriculum and options and suggestions on what could work and what obstacles need to be addressed, e.g., diversity access, transportation, budget, etc.

Dr. Navarro mentioned at the beginning of the meeting that the changes to high school programming are driven by the Metis Report (2015) and the Career Review report (2017). Specifically, whether or not the consortium model is working and if more can be done to match students and/or provide opportunities for careers after high school, e.g., Thomas Edison model.

MCPS admin plans to present to the board a proposal for new curriculum models, programs, etc. in June 2019 based on parent input and other stakeholders. Navarro emphasized that no decisions have been made despite rumors!

It seems like there will be significant changes based on the questions proposed to parents and the handout that listed successful options in other districts such as whole magnet schools, creating campuses, offering similar programs in all schools, online programs, etc.[/quote]
