[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve yet to understand why they created so many variations of programs based on the themes instead of keeping them mostly the same.  That way they could have a smoother implementation and better program oversight.

The initial framework should have been very simple: 
•5 magnet programs types (1 representing each theme)
•3-5 interest based programs types (aligned to a theme)
•5 Program Manager positions
•8-10 cross regional teams (1 for each program[/quote]

They prefer to spend as little to make this happen as they can.  That means using existing personnel/local programs as much as possible. Which means that the program "flavor" for each region depends on the differences that currently exist at that school (as compared with whichever school in another region is hosting a magnet of the same program type).

This also is why we see proposed [i]new[/i] magnets of the more traditional academic types (e.g., STEM, Humanities, IB) largely being placed at higher-performing schools, which are already rich with such programming.  (pun intended)[/quote]

There is making use of existing resources and then there is just taking what exist and giving it a new name.[/quote]
