[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about Poolesville and Blair? They are regional. They will be gone too?[/quote]

There are going to be more regions so I imagine they will have them, but kids from fewer schools will be able to apply. Just the ones in the same region as Poolesville and Blair. Quality will go down because they won’t have half the county each to choose from.

Same with RMIB — I will bet it will exist but only in its own region. That will really affect quality — it will have many, many fewer students to choose from. [/quote]

Its a shame for the county to lose their most successful well known programs.[/quote]

So for perspective my children are still younger.

Isn’t it a good thing though to expand access to these programs by opening more seats and making them more geographically accessible?  Aren’t there more qualified applicants than there are spaces?[/quote]

Yeah, seriously.  If RMIB now takes the top 1% of kids in the county and then it switches to be a set of regional programs that cover the top 5 or 6% of kids in the county, is it really that big a deal?   [/quote]

Expanded regional opportunities are a great idea. I don’t want my kid on a super long bus ride for any reason. [/quote]
