What’s gonna happen to Einstein?[/quote]

Boundary study options all pull lower FARMS schools out of Einstein/higher FARMS schools into it and the regional magnet program will pull higher achieving kids into magnets placed at other schools within the region leaving existing programs at Einstein without students and therefore without funding. MCPS is taking a school with a diverse socioeconomic population and good programs, which has been a relative success story, and cutting it off at the knees (and uniquely so among all the rest of the schools at issue). Parents in boundary need to speak up! [/quote]

Einstein gets no regional program? What about IB, VAPA, or VAC?[/quote]

Regional IB goes to BCC. Regional performing arts go to Northwood. Einstein keeps regional visual arts only plus education which as I understand it is low interest. BCC also gets humanities magnet. Someone on another thread suggested as a minimum advocating for humanities magnet at Einstein and education at BCC since they have some sort of preschool training piece. [/quote]

Why would Northwood get a regional performing arts program over Einstein? That would kill VAPA.[/quote]

The claim is because they have a shinny new building.  MCPS refuses to invest any money in Einstein.

VAC is very small.  VAPA is larger.[/quote]

Einstein already has the reputation and the staff. It makes no sense to create a new performing arts program from scratch when you can strengthen an existing one.[/quote]

Does anyone know who replaced Mr Smeallie when he retired?[/quote]
