[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Per BOE meeting - the new regional programs will be at Watkins Mill, Springbrook, and Kennedy. RM will remain countywide during the initial phase of high school program expansions (which is implied for ~5 years until the opening of Woodward).[/quote]

Not sure it will be five years. One of the slides in the beginning of the presentation put Phase II earlier. Does anyone remember the date? [/quote]

So Woodward will replace RM after that period?  Or RM will become regional too?[/quote]

No, they said that RM will become regional. I thought they said Woodward would be arts focused. [/quote]

Been living in MCPS since the 90’s. I was there when they opened up Blake as the Montgomery county public school first arts high school magnet and they  did the same with Einstein VAPA, and they both failed. I was always interested in a performing arts magnet but the county doesn’t have a good track record with supporting the arts. They’re always threatening to cut positions and now they want to open a magnet program with teachers who have worked in the entertainment field? That’s not cheap! artist and performers aren’t cheap. I can’t trust MCPS but I do think their reasonings are good. Parents and students probably don’t want to commit to a magnet arts program. Even the Baltimore School of the Arts are going though cuts. How is the MCPS Visual Art Center? is the county fully investing in that? I think this Woodward arts thing is gonna fall apart, MCPS just doesn’t have a good track record. They should focus on the arts programs they have now.[/quote]
