[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TL;DR - current 7th graders are not affected for MS. They are affected for HS.

[b]Current DCC 7th graders will not go through the DCC choice process in fall of 8th grade but will go through whatever process is set up for the new regional choice programs.

If you are currently at Eastern/Takoma or MSMC and your home address is in a different program Region than the current MS, I would expect your child will have to apply to programs in their home region but I have not heard that exact scenario addressed by MCPS yet[/quote]

The bolded is why all current 7th graders and beyond are f*cked[/quote]

I have a current 7th grader and I think this is hyperbole. Yes, next year will likely be a little chaotic, but there are plenty of excellent high schools in MCPS.

The folks I've seen most up in arms about this are (white) folks who bought a house in a school zone with the explicit plan of trying to lottery out. Yes, if your entire plan for HS was predicated on not sending your child to school with their neighbors, you might feel f*cked, but that's a feeling not reality. Your neighbors are fine, and their children are fine, and it will be fine. [/quote]

Spot on. Saying the kids are *** means you don’t like your options. For some of us the options got better and we are thrilled. [/quote]

I'm glad you feel the options are better for you. I agree the kids will be fine, but it is legitimately disappointing for kids that thought they would have certain established options that will now be replaced by unfunded programs with no realistic expectation of them having qualified staff. I think the programs are going to be a sh&t show for the first cohort and probably for several years. [/quote]
