Will W students have more or fewer magnet opportunities?  It would seem if Blair retains the SMCS magnet, there would be more slots available there, with its only drawing from 1/3 to 1/4 of the population it currently serves.  It would be no further away. [b] It would seem that the switch of IB available from RM to B-CC would, likewise, offer more seats to Whitman for a similar reason while being considerably closer.[/b]

Are Whitman students heavily favoring Poolesville Ecology over their own Social Justice and worrying about the loss of that specific opportunity?  (Might these sunset, in any case?)

Am I missing something about the above?  Or is it just that those in the Whitman-zoned area are hoping that, with enough complaint, the move to regionalization will result in placement of one or more of the highest-academic-caliber magnets at the school within that region which consistently has demonstrated the highest academic results from their in-bounds population?  If that is an option, does it present a solution that better meets overall need across the region, or does it do the opposite?[/quote]
RM and BCC are not in the same region, so your point is moot.

Whitman won't get a program.   The program will be placed in the lower performing schools. That's why it's called  a "magnet".[/quote]

Each school will have 1-2 programs.[/quote]

5 schools each hosting 1-2 programs and offer bus routes to the rest of 4 schools in the same region. That’s like at least 10-20 buses added each region and then multiplies by 6.

How does that compare to current, longer routes?

Will all programs get buses?  Middle school immersion does not, fwiw.[/quote]

The presentation said currently they cannot offer busses for all that attend these programs. But in the future they’ll be able to offer bus for all if adopting this regional model. I don’t think they’ve done a careful analysis on the logistics. [/quote]
