Yep.  My only hope is that the "study" and fallout takes a few years so my kids are out of MCPS before [b]he cuts out all magnets[/b].[/quote]

Starr could do this, if he wanted to, if his job were Omnipotent Dictator of Montgomery County Public Schools.

However, in actuality, his job is Superintendent of Montgomery County Public Schools, and he couldn't do it, even if he wanted to.[/quote]

Well, in order for your post to be true, we voters would have to vote in a new school board.  And I hope we do.[/quote]

Ok, who's running?? [/quote]

Well, I know I like Jill Ortman-Fouse.  She has good ideas, she's smart and independent, and she supports things that are important to me like language programs.  She's from the downtown Silver Spring/Takoma Park area, and as a resident of that area, I hve felt underrepresented by current board members, so I'm happy about that.  I think she has a good perspective on balancing the needs of all students, including low-income kids, in terms of equity and access to the curriculum, without sacrificing challenge and depth for hig-achieving students.[/quote]

Also forgot to mention:  I will NOT be voting for Shebra Evans.  She's part of the recent MCCPTA leadership, and I didn't like their approach.  Also, there's a presumption that if you serve on MCCPTA board you then can automatically jump to the school board, and I really object to that kind of automatic succession that occurs.  [/quote]
