[quote=Anonymous]According to the RFP, which was linked earlier, they are checking to see if the programs 1) still meet their original purpose, 2) are equitable in their admissions criteria and 3) advance the general mission of MCPS. Given the range and diversity of the programs available, this seems smart. For example, why is it OK for some immersions to have neighborhood preference in admissions and not others? Is it really better for the broad range of MCPS (all 150K+ kids) to have a handful of selective programs? Would there be a benefit to provide greater enrichment home schools to more kids? Also, the transportation costs are not negligible. In the RCF program they bus kids from all over the county down to a school basically at the DC border. That cannot be equivalent to going to your neighborhood school up in Gaithersburg. These seem like actually very good questions to ask. [/quote]
