[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS could also just start with 3 regions and build slowly. Have a combined region 1/2, 3/4, 5/6. Nothing in the approved proposal says they need 6 regions.

True. They could start slow and then after the first couple of years, see where the demand is and add more programs as they go along, splitting the regions.

They have publicly stated that a piecemeal approach would be "inequitable"[/quote]

Then transportation must be the first priority along with how many established successful programs will be in each region and how much funds they need to start a new program in that region. You cannot have students traversing across the county when the goal was to have these programs accessible to all.

Current MCPS region 6:
Poolesville - SMCS
Clarksburg - P-Tech
NorthWest - Ulysses
Seneca Valley - IB

Current MCPS Region 5:
Watkins Mill - IB
Magruder - Aerospace

You have 3 STEM related successful programs in MCPS Region 6. In MCPS Region 5, Magruder's Aerospace program is the only STEM program.

This does not even make any sense having 4 established programs (with 3 of them STEM) in one region, and only 2 established programs in the neighboring region (1 STEM), especially when one of those schools with the established STEM program in Region 6 does not even belong there if it comes to transportation (I'm talking about Clarksburg).
