[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, that would be really unpopular.    Move local kids further away so kids who live further from the school can come there....?[/quote]

Sure, but PGCPS is mandated to provide TAG services to these kids and they are failing to do so in a meaningful way.

There are two under enrolled MS 2-3 miles from Kenmoor (Everett Just,  Gholson).  Kenmoor's boundary area is pretty small compared to other MS in the district and they are surrounded by other MS in fairly close proximity.  Some of the kids probably live closer to Gholson or Just than Kenmoor.

I'm glad that I'm not making the decisions but from a purely logical point of view adding TAG classes at Kenmoor would be the most economical way to achieve more MS opportunities.

Um, no. Adding TAG classes to the under enrolled middle schools is makes more sense economically and from an educational perspective than relocated all the other non-TAG kids. [/quote]

I'd love it if more MS got dedicated TAG programs.  And I agree it would benefit everyone if TAG kids stayed in local ES and MS.

I was speaking from the perspective of getting trained staff and curriculum resources at alternate locations.  Not all principals want TAG programs and not all teachers are willing to get TAG certified.  On top of that moving staff around to different schools can be a union nightmare.
