[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not happy my kid won’t be able to go to one of the cool programs at Poolesville or Blair, but it’s really hard for many families to deal with getting their kids there and back every day. I hired someone to fetch my kid from a middle school magnet bus stop - grateful I can afford to do that and it was the only way to make it work, but it’s not fair that you have to be able to afford this kind of help to make a magnet program feasible.

I don’t think MCPS did a good job of explaining the regional model, but it sounds like they will be taking a long time to figure out regions, programming, staffing, etc., so hopefully they get to planning and get it smoothed out. I suspect part of the reason we’re all left unclear on what’s happening is that the Wootton to Crown debate took up 90% or more of the BOE meetings, testimony, media coverage, etc., so that’s all we heard about.[/quote]

No. Wottoon is not why you haven't heard more about the regional program model from MCPS. There was an incredible amount of advocacy and energy around the program model with MCPS. MCCPTA and MCEA both put out statements stating their concerns. There also was a volunteer group of parents who were supposed to be consulted. Many parents raised concerns at the meetings MCPS held at various high schools as well.

All concerns about the program model were dismissed and ignored, and we were told that they would figure it out later and that we can't and shouldn't expect perfection before implementation.[/quote]
