[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is really no need for a central program.
Each school can have its own advanced classes.

This would greatly reduce the cost, while kids can still receive good education.[/quote]
each school cannot have its own advanced classes because some schools do not have enough high achieving kids to warrant a whole class just for like 10 kids.  That is the whole reason why MCPS moved to the new model of selecting kids who did not have a similar cohort to the ES/MS magnets.

If a school has hundreds of kids, why should the resource tilt to less than 10 kids? That does not make sense![/quote]

Those 10 kids should have their needs met on an equivalent basis as the hundreds of others.  Just like those with IEPs, etc.

To the PP, MCPS moved away from that take-the-outliers/leave-the-large-cohorts a year after they implemented it, going to a lottery approach, albeit with adjustments for school FARMS rate and individual received services, to deal with pandemic uncertainty and sticking with that for the last three years.[/quote]
