[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going on now in Malibu and Salt Lake City. Areas with higher performing students are working to split off from large ineffective, bureaucratic systems. The Malibu - Santa Monica split is being complicated by the amount of money Santa Monica wants from Malibu but it looks like this will eventually happen. CA actually makes it harder for systems to do this so it might be easier here in MD.

There is a tipping point in frustration when a school system only takes from one area to benefit another even if the need in the other area is greater.  If students in the W clusters are no eligible for county-wide magnet programs, building renovations are constantly delayed, parents can't fund raise for things like teacher aides or facility improvements then perhaps its time to split.

I used to read that W students dont bother with magnets since their own schools are so good..[/quote]

No, they'd love to keep going beyond ES gifted centers, but the logistics of the commute are pure hell (wake up at 5:30am, sit on a bus for 90+ minutes, get home after 7pm), twice a day![/quote]
