[quote=Anonymous]It won't happen for a number of reasons, including because FCPS uses some of the TJ Governor's School money from the state for other schools under the allocation system FCPS imposes. In other words, if you close TJ as a Governor's School, the school budget deficit gets worse.

But what TJ is doing now that construction is over is opening up for more collaboration on education and projects with the community and other local schools, including through summer seminars and collaborative projects.

In addition, the school and its charitable foundation are increasing efforts to bring STEM education to elementary schools students so more students will be prepared for the TJ admissions requirements and testing well in advance.  Identifying smart kids who may be in middle schools without the same level of math and science resources has turned out to be too late. The outreach has to start in elementary school and that is happening now through various programs including mentorship and tutoring by TJ students.

Lots of people like to critique TJ and its students harshly any chance they get, but they are largely remarkable academically and also responsible and kind citizens, many of whom may well do things that will change the world for the better.  The more students that can share in the opportunities available at TJ, the better.  And like it or not, that's what the school is going to work on. [/quote]
