Look, the year is gonna start with "21" before this gets done.[/quote]

More likely they rush it into place to let people start applying for programs that aren't fully formed yet.[/quote]

That is the MCPS way!

[b]Also does this mean there won’t be the county-wide programs anymore?[/b] [/quote]

This could be the end of county-wide programs, which is why the Richard Montgomery IB community is losing their marbles over the Program Review and Boundary Study.[/quote]

This is really sad. Why does MCPS always want to destroy the only good things they have? [/quote]

You do realize there are plenty of parents and students on MCPS who want to see exactly this.  They are tired of a select few schools being talked about as capable and provided resources.  And instead want a more equitable distribution of resources and  the opportunity for more kids to attend programs.[/quote]

If a regional model could do this well that would be one thing. But MCPS can't even get local programming right, let alone a suite of reigonal offerings. I also think the cost of bussing is going to take away resources from what is needed in schools. This is a bad idea.[/quote]

There is already a bunch of disparate regional offerings and problems in local programming.  This is shining a light on what people have been saying about this and requiring the county to actually do something.   The folks arguing against this seem to be the same one arguing that their neighborhood shouldn’t be impacted in the boundary study.  Often for no other reason besides they don’t like it.

No it’s teachers saying don’t mess with stability. It’s fine to add programs but if you take strong programs away, you will lose good staff to any place that has more certainty. Staff is saying be careful. [/quote]

The county and school system have changed so much in the last few decades. Unfortunately, change is sometimes necessary. And I get it, my kid benefits from a language immersion program (not HS) and I do worry these HS program changes could foretell changes at the ES and MS levels. I would be disappointed about it and the staff would have to be reallocated, which would be hard for them. [/quote]
