[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Late to this since my kid is graduating but the dismantling of these flagship magnet programs really is a shame.  Both Poolesville and Blair are nationally ranked.  Just flushing that all down the toilet?

I am all for more regional programs, but they should keep the current ones as well.

They are keeping the current ones.  Just changing the boundaries of who can attend them (and probably also making them a bit smaller, for Blair at least.). No one knows how big or small an impact this will have on them, but that doesn't stop some people from being sure they will be "destroyed."[/quote]

This is absolutely not the case. There is no way the three Poolesville programs will continue at the same school. There is no replication/replacement for Global Ecology in the new proposed regional programs. The current county-wide programs are not distributed equally so there will be regions with no established programs and only new programs, which is not equitable. You have no idea what you're talking about. YES, they are destroying these county-wide programs, especially at Poolesville.[/quote]

Can we do anything about it this?  I’ve been in MCPS long enough to know that they don’t seem to listen.[/quote]
