[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who weren't aware, pretty sure that MCPS changed the magnet admissions process into a lottery to dismiss the discrimination against asians lawsuit.  It was one of the many things quietly handled during the covid crisis in 2020.  [b]The judge dismissed the suit since since admissions are now "lottery based."[/b] This means that no one will be able to prove racial discrimination in future magnet admissions.  MCPS really has good attorneys (and for $11M outside their budget, they should).

In the process, the magnet program was trashed.  Now the top performers go to their home schools while magnet slots are filled with "lottery winners".  Now Equity Initiatives are bigger in the Org Chart than AEI.

It would be interesting to see who the "lottery winner" parents are, and who they know, but that's private info.

If this type of program change fills you with pride, be sure to know who all the incumbents are in the next boe election.[/quote]

You got it wrong.

The federal judge denied MCPS's Motion to Dismiss. This means the parents' lawsuit will continue.
