[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of this is too expensive and too complicated. They should start with the new boundaries for 2-3 years as they really study program options. Would love to see a cost comparisons to just having all secondary schools offer quality programming. Who says we have to have such specialized programs? This is a want, not a need. We can’t get blood from a rock. We have so many kids that still can’t read. This is all a waste of time for a small subset of students that will do well regardless of what program or building they are in.[/quote]

With all the extra costs they could use that money to better help the schools.  We need to vote the boe out.  [/quote]

The programs are not in the purview of the BOE, it’s Taylor and McPS. The BOE only gets final say in the boundaries. The BOE hs been asking critical questions of both studies. The first time Taylor let the Program team answer for themselves. Then, in July, Taylor chimed in like a used car salesman to smooth over when his team gave honest answers that the BoE clearly didn’t like.[/quote]

LOL
Are you enjoying the Kool-Aid? The BOE runs the school system. It is all their purview.[/quote]

The BOE advises. The superintendent runs the school system. The BOE's only hard power is to hire and fire the superintendent.[/quote]

The BOE is the highest authority in the school system and can exercise as much power as they want.  While of course they don't micromanage small details, Taylor works for them and all the rest of MCPS works for him.  If there is something you believe they don't have the authority to change, you're going to need to show some proof.[/quote]
