[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, MCPS confirmed at the last BOE meeting that any current eighth grader would not be asked to change schools in 10th grade. They said for the class of 2030 wherever they start high school they may continue and graduate from there. They will be given a choice to switch to a new boundary school, if there is one, but they will not be forced.  This is for everyone in the class of 2030, not just those in programs. [/quote]

Untrue, they were very clear that their statement only applied to centrally managed programs and the centrally managed consortium process.[/quote]

Those in their home schools will be moving if boundaries change.

As a mom to an 8th grader, I am also nervous about centrally managed programs. They may stay in place but lose teachers. I feel like this class is bearing the brunt of the negative consequences.

What you say does not make sense. Where will the teachers from the magnet programs go next year? It is the class of 2031 that is going to suffer - new programs in regional schools that year, existing programs losing teachers if they are forced to go to a different school to set up the program or if they go o their own for better commute.

Teachers who are in magnet programs that are being retired will have an incentive to leave. They need stable employment. [/quote]
