If the STEM magnet is in a rich school, it's a brain drain from poor schools. If it's placed in the poorest school in that region, the rich kids will stay home and the magnet is going to be a failure - think Watkins Mill IB program.

Expanding should happen in small limited schools if Blair and Poolesville cannot meet the needs, not in 6 schools for each type - STEM, Humanities, Biotech and so on.

If these people had any sense they will expand this in 2 or 3 schools and go from there.[/quote]

MCPS is trying to expand CTE programs so students meet the 45% goal in the MD Blueprint. That’s why more than half of the programs have an industry recognized credential listed under “student outcomes” in that long document MCPS released.

The academic magnets aren’t the priority in this process and they don’t seem to care if the new ones are comparable to current, successful programs.

They need to pick programs students will be interested in.[/quote]
