[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blair Magnet eductation foundation has been for formed by magnet parents and they pour in thousands of dollars into Blair HS to benefit the school, the teachers, the magnet students and the non-magnet students.  This money is not federal, county or PTA money.  Perhaps, by moving the program to Kennedy, MCPS thinks that the parents will create a foundation for Kennedy also and help them. Its all a game for MCPS. They do not care for magnet students.  The program has become a coveted prize to hand over to schools and let all the non-magnet parents feel that their children will absorb knowledge by being in the proximity of magnet kids.  What a joke.  All politics and no substance. [/quote]

Kennedy has a foundation already.[/quote]

Blair Magnet parent here..Does the foundation really pour money into the school as a whole or is it pretty focused on the magnet program itself?  My understanding is it provides funding to make up some of what was lost during budget cuts to the magnet about 10 years ago.  If the program should move, I think the magnet foundation would move with it.  The  focus is the program not the school.  I am not supporting a move (especially since my child will be a senior next year) but I don't think the foundation is an issue.  I would need a lot more information about the ability of another school to support the classroom needs, scheduling needs, and non-magnet course needs of that group of kids.  But since this is such a vague rumor (no one could even mention the school where this rumor started) I am not worried much right now.[/quote]
