[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ummm they’ve been getting community input on the performing arts magnet for awhile now. [/quote]

+1 I personally put in feedback on this option at least 18 months ago, when they sent around a survey about what to do with Woodward.

I also wrote it into another survey about school choices and magnets. [/quote]

Yep. Me too.  And I specifically asked for a performing arts magnet.[/quote]

This is true.  They did solicit feedback a couple years ago, and I did provide comments.  But they never presented any summary or conclusion from the comments (I'm not sure they ever actually released the "working group" results, but a "decision" on programming certainly didn't seem to be part of it.  Now it does seem that MCPS has made a decision.  So I acknowledge there was input, but it was quite a while ago and it didn't seem to result in any conclusion being reached by MCPS until now, when many parents have forgotten it happened [b]or weren't in the schools then.[/b]  [/quote]

I know DCUM skews young and UMC, but the survey was only two years ago. Maybe less. Not THAT many parents who are interested in high school programs were not yet in the system two years ago.

I remember the survey pretty clearly because the options were intriguing. I personally supported a performing arts magnet because I have artsy kids but there was also a girls-only STEM program being pitched, which also sounded really fascinating. [/quote]
