"The GEC’s Complaint from the Public (CFP) chronicles [b]systemic failures by MCPS to faithfully implement the gifted education requirements[/b] set forth by numerous MCPS policies and Maryland State laws. MCPS’s noncompliance has resulted in an inconsistent and inequitable delivery of enriched and accelerated instruction throughout the County."

Their concerns seem reasonable; however, the lottery isn't ideal but if I had to prioritize anything it would be expanding the size of these programs. There is no reason any kid who wants to be in a magnet and can do the work shouldn't be but their policy results in this artificial scarcity.[/quote]
Absolutely. It’s just mind boggling that MCPS insists on artificial scarcity of something that has such minimal budget impact, if any.

I cannot help but believe either they are operating based on politics, whether internal to MCPS or external. For example, if too many gifted kids were in their own classes, what would student achievement look like?[/quote]
