[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for going and reporting back. So much here is extremely alarming, esp #4 and #5 above.

I hope the County Council is paying attention to answers like "we'll put more money into it if it's not successful" because if that's the case, this is going to be far more expensive than presented. Where is that money going to come from? At the expense of K-8 education? The 85% of Grade 9-12 students who aren't in one of these special programs?[/quote]

Jennie said 25% of students will be in these special programs as the goal. Their numbers just keep on changing because they don't need to take responsibility for what they say.[/quote]

That's so nuts to me! I'm not anti-magnet, but how can we have a system where 1 in 4 students isn't able to get what they need from the standard HS curriculum and needs something special, most likely not at their high school? We're losing the plot.[/quote]

About half of the programs are CTE-oriented, not magnet. Academic rigor won't be the focus of those programs. Getting students graduate with a certificate with whatever skills they can teach them is the goal. [/quote]
