[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, starting in Fall '27, students from only 5 schools will be eligible for the Blair SMCS program: Blair, Northwood, Einstein, BCC, and Whitman.

I don't think that will "destroy" it as some claim, but it will undoubtedly dilute it do the reduced cohort and probably loss of teachers and electives to staff and build the 4 new programs.

I would have been in favor of changes/expansion to the different magnet programs, but building out as many new programs all at once the way they're doing it is reckless, IMO. But they're going full-steam ahead despite lots of voices warning them.[/quote]

Good, that’s how it should be but no reason for Whitman to go.  They have plenty as does bcc. [/quote]

So you think that Blair’s SMCS should only allow kids from Blair, Northwood, and Einstein?[/quote]

Yes, Einstein and Northwood have very few advanced classes.  Whitman has everything and more.   Those slots should be for kids with limited opportunities.  [/quote]
