[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoa. Jeannie Franklin admitted that schools with existing programs won't get any new staff or resources.

Instead, the bulk of new resources will go to schools getting magnets for the first time, which means Wooton, Churchill, WJ, and BCC. [/quote]

BCC is not getting a magnet for the first time.  Or rather, the IB program that already exists is just going to become the "magnet". [/quote]

It will need more teachers[/quote]

I thought none of the programs are getting new teachers, just perhaps some extra training.[/quote]

If they don't change BCC boundaries but put in a new criteria based program that adds 200 students from other schools, their staff allocation will increase and other schools' staff allocations decrease.[/quote]

They assume that the numbers of students entering and leaving schools for magnets will be roughly equal. [/quote]

That is a preposterous assumption.[/quote]

Well, yes. But this is MCPS. Preposterous is their operating philosophy. [/quote]

I think they know they are lying. If they really believed it then it would be ridiculous for them to say the program model is "inextricably linked" with the boundary studies.[/quote]
