[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wondering, is that possible to keep all current clusters and initiate a selective admissions program to Crown HS, like Thomas Jefferson?[/quote]
Second this.[/quote]
no, not gonna happen[/quote]

Can you explain the reasonings behind it?[/quote]
MCPS is trying to create smaller regional magnets.  For example, they want to convert RMIB to a regional magnet rather than a whole county magnet, and look at creating additional magnets at other schools.

Creating a whole school magnet is counter to MCPS' desire to create more regional magnets.

It's not gonna happen.[/quote]

That's the perfect way to avoid all split articulation!  They can place those magnets in schools where the MS enrollments match the HS enrollment.  [/quote]

This is the only way for MCPS to figure out the programs and boundaries at the same time. It’s going to have to super simple and obvious. Everyone should get behind this, teach them a thing or two about simplicity. [/quote]
? how would that address capacity issues at QO, RM, Gaithersburg?  Putting a regional magnet at, let's say Wootton which is slightly under capacity, would not draw enough students from each of those over capacity schools to alleviate over crowding. And they are not going to make Crown a whole magnet school, per what I stated above.[/quote]
