[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah I noticed that for CAP and am concerned about how that will work (speaking as a parent who does have experience with the program). It’s pretty rigorous even though it’s not extremely selective but I am not sure what will happen if it’s lottery based. Maybe kids will self select if they understand what the program entails but I could see many students leaving if they do not. It’s also more of an interdisciplinary humanities program with some communications classes, not exactly a “communications” program. The English/Social studies classes are cohosted and involve a lot of group projects that are pretty involved.[/quote]

I don’t imagine that students from across the region will be interested in CAP if it’s less rigorous. Not good news for Blair.[/quote]

Does Blair get to keep CAP in the new plan? I thought it was moving to BCC.[/quote]

They have "communication" (presumably CAP) at Blair and "humanities" at BCC.  Both interest-based.[/quote]

Can you post a link to where this information is located?  I know what our proposed new region is but not which school is supposed to have which programs. [/quote]

It's at this link, slides 40-42 (if anyone can grab the images to post in-thread that would be appreciated!): https://go.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/DKRJWU4F383C/$file/10.01%20Program%20Analysis%20Boundary%20Studies%20Comm%20Engage%20Plan%20Update%20250821%20PPT%20REV.pdf[/quote]
