[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know where the PP got their information about why ELC was discontinued. That’s news to me. I find it disappointing that something like that is lumped in with a discussion about high school magnets. The CES magnet is criteria-based, followed by a lottery. There are many kids who qualify for the CES who don’t get a spot because of the lottery. Same with middle school magnets. I don’t think that’s a good model at all. It’s very unfair and inequitable. I really hope MCPS doesn’t do something like that with regional high school magnets. They should offer criteria-based programming at all levels to students who qualify and not lottery off the spots. I believe MCPS has the ability to offer advanced programming to all students who qualify, they just choose not to for some reason and instead spend $$ bussing a small subset of kids around the county. Perhaps they can achieve more equality/equity/parity by offering more classes at each school and by switching to regional high school magnets. [/quote]
