[quote=Anonymous]GT programs should be based upon CogAT, not MAP.  CogAT is race-neutral and nationally administered.  MAP is basically whoever can afford tutors, imho.

Unfortunately, I don't think anything will change as long as the current board of education, superintendent and AEI team is in office.  That will take years to flush out.

The handwriting was on the wall many years ago when Kurshanna Dean first took over, and now that staff is continuing the downward spiral.  Kurshanna Dean moved on to an Asst P slot at Page ES, was it last year?

The history behind the lottery is shady.  MCPS has never released how the "local" portion is done and is very secretive about how the lottery overall is performed (do they have lotto balls? dice? throw darts?)

It started back in 2018, when MCPS was caught discriminating against asians for lottery admissions.

There was a complaint (I think around 2019?) that provided evidence that it wasn't possible for MCPS to have calculated the MCPS Percentile using the criteria they published and MCPS didn't deny it.  That was the exact same year the Magnet program went lottery, btw.[/quote]
