[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There were some strong hints there that County Council may be reluctant to fund budget increases for this if they don't think it's being done well (and they clearly, and I think correctly, don't think it's being done well so far.)   Do we think MCPS leadership will care about that at all?  [/quote]

They probably think it's empty threats and are probably mostly right about that[/quote]

Even if this is approved and funded, there's no way it will be in place in 2 years. What will happen is that they won't be able to hire the teachers for the 4 additional STEM magnets (and perhaps other programs, but I think most agree that's the hardest one to staff), and so they'll have to continue to have Blair and Poolesville open to applications from the same regions they have now. And then someone will say, "hmm, should we maybe have tried to build this incrementally one program at a time?"[/quote]

Yes or even - gasp - continue utilizing regional programs that are working, like the DCC, and try to build other models based on those. [/quote]

DCC model is costly to implement for entire county. Fraankly it does not make any sense to allow a very large number of students to simply change high schools and provide bussing for all of them.[/quote]
