[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So there will still be special school-based programs that not all students can access?  I don’t see the point of all this work to create equivalent regions if this is the case. [/quote]

There have always been special school-based programs that not all students can access-- almost all high schools have at least one local signature program, often more.  The only way to equalize that would be to force all high schools to end all signature program/academies which doesn't seem like a positive step forward...[/quote]

Watch BOW meetings and read the Program Design website. Every HS will have at least one “program” within their building. All secondary students will have access to the same amount and type of programs within their region. This is more than we can say now.[/quote]

I was referring to these: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/specialprograms/high/signatures/[/quote]

They will go away and be replaced with these (starts at slide 19)

Nothing has been presented or decided about the local signature programs.[/quote]

Where have you been? They’ve been presenting the new Programs at BOE meetings since 6/24! You should attend one of the office hours sessions if you need to get caught up.

No, you're conflating two different things. The local signature programs are different than the centrally-managed programs, which is what the presentations at the BOE meetings are covering.[/quote]
