[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ones like Blair should be regional as the W schools have far more classes than down county.[/quote]

Even the W schools you mention do not come close to Blair in terms of course offerings. The program has courses you would not find in any other program, probably even nationwide. The courses, especially the electives, are not just more advanced, but very unique and niche.

That's what makes it so special. Turning it into 6 regional programs would completely destroy it. [/quote]

But very few kids can access that program.  Too many qualified kids for too few spots.  And it implies an hour long bus ride for many.  Count me in for team "watering down" into country wide magnet-then maybe at least my kid would get some advanced programming rather than elite programming for a precious few.  Your Young Sheldon can take college classes if they find MCPS mini-magnets that boring.[/quote]

Take a look at the baseline science, IT, and math programs being proposed in the regional high schools. It's anemic - no mini-magnets coming out of this model. Check the 6.24.25 BOE meeting video at 6:55 pm and you can take a look at the course offerings in the slide show that was presented.[/quote]

People are gonna be so disappointed by these so called regional magnets. [/quote]
