[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The possible change to regions will not happen until fall 2027, and final decisions about the new programs will not even be made until December 2025 or later.

The main question is whether MCPS will make any specific reassurances or guarantees to this fall's applicants or not.  For example, they could theoretically say "We commit that students starting a program in fall 2026 (or earlier) will be able to finish out that program.". If you would like that kind of information/reassurance, I would highly suggest you contact the Board of Ed *now*.to demand that, so they have time to put pressure on MCPS to make a statement like that by early fall.[/quote]

I would suggest that anyone with a rising 8th grader who might be interested in a program (or rising 5th grader, honestly-- there's been less talk about middle school so far but they are supposed to assess and potentially change those programs too) to fill out their questions/feedback form asking what the impact will be: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1fCkz2b1rVr60QIatOoSPXCLD7f1YlRRDCn3VbHrBx-o/viewform?edit_requested=true

Contacting Board of Ed members would be good too, and maybe even signing up to testify at the next board meeting on July 24th.  And if you can get your kid to do any of these things as well, that would be even more powerful...[/quote]
