[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My question to everybody who is against the regional 6 program... don't you think this will increase the amount of space across the county? Currently, in SMAC, there are about 200 spaces in the county. But now there will be about 600. I know for the Blair program, they have around 1000 applicants from across the county, I wonder how many of those were DCC?[/quote]

There are currently a little less than 200 SMACS seats between the two sites, but the new regional programs will all be smaller. I believe they said 55-85 seats per site. So it will really be going from 200ish seats to 400ish seats. And the program will be watered down (see the proposed math track) and have less elective options. Plus, they haven't published data about how many qualified applicants are left in the wait pool/how many additional seats they still need. I'd rather see them keep Blair and Poolesville as is and open a third regional program that could get development help from the Blair foundation instead of trying to open so many new programs all at once.
