As far as TJHSST, isn’t it a governor’s school thad receives partial funding directly from the Commonwealth? Guessing the school’s charter doesn’t prohibit participation from nearby districts, especially ones that do not have access to a governor’s school. Not that it matters. Not sure the Alexandria SB will really deviate from its past position on this.[/quote]

This is actually a great point! It’s funded in part by the state as the STEM Governor’s School for NoVa.  It also receives substantial support from a non-profit foundation.  Such a shame for ACPS to automatically opt all its students out of this opportunity.

“As the Governor's School for Science and Technology in Northern Virginia, the school is also supported by the Virginia Department of Education. Unlike other magnet schools, TJHSST has a four-year, full day program.

In 1999, local business leaders, parents, and alumni formed the TJ Partnership Fund (TJPF) as a nonprofit public foundation to help raise money to support TJHSST’s academic mission and role as a STEM education leader. After the renovation the TJPF expanded its focus to enhance STEM outreach efforts and alumni engagement in addition to its support for the school.”
