[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS did a lot of money-business behind the scenes with the Magnet Program around 2018-2019 but the lawsuits got little to no focus because of covid, so this is the inevitable result.  Specifically TPMS stopped being special in 2019 when the Lottery kicked in.  If no one cared in 2018-2019 when this was all happening, I don't know why anyone cares now?[/quote]

There was no lottery in 2019. The first year that kids were selected by partial lottery was 2021-2022. This is not relevant to the current discussion.[/quote]

I believe it is relevant.  TPMS has been circling the drain for a while now.

2021-22 was the year MCPS turned over TPMS "lottery" selection results to the Court and MCPS was able to quickly bury a lawsuit.

I believe making admissions "lottery" meant MCPS couldn't be held accountable for making selections inconsistent with the Magnet selection criteria, not that anyone at MCPS would ever play favorites.  It was an exceptionally timely transition to a 15% lottery during covid, since in a separate action MCPS didn't follow their own 2019 TPMS Magnet selection guidelines for the class of 2020-21.  If the evidence from that case had turned up in the other lawsuit, I think it would've been embarrassing for the MCPS BOE and especially McKnight and Wolfe?[/quote]
