[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am also very interested in this question and I wonder if there’s any chance of them being expanded so there’s at least one option per region.  I realize there would be challenges to doing so.[/quote]

I honestly think this is what they would have done (added a middle school immersion program, a middle school math/science magnet, and a middle school humanities magnet in every region) if it weren't for the MSDE math minutes mandate thing.  But the mandate will probably mean that they will drop down to 1 or 1.5 elective periods per student per year starting in 2027-2028, and I don't know that magnet programs and immersion will survive that.  (Heck, I don't know that *foreign language* in middle school will survive that-- probably not any language besides Spanish, anyway, since on average middle schools only have a section or two of French of Chinese and a lot of students will likely pass on foreign language if it means they can't take band/orchestra or other electives they're interested in.)
