Recommendation on program study and boundary study targeted for December 2025, board approval by Feb 2026 and implementation for the 2026-2027 school year  (ex applications for the new high school programs) if I understood correctly.  [/quote]

Gotcha.  So sounds like the actual changes to programs would then start in the 2027-2028 school year at the earliest?  [/quote]

That’s my understanding-changes will apply for rising 7th graders. [/quote]

These are the students who missed magnet opportunities due to the lottery for elementary and middle school programs. And now going to miss high school magnet again due to brand new regional programs.  MCPS is giving them no chance!

please stop repeating the same tired misinformation over and over again.  Magnet opportunities are not open lotteries.  Yes they have less restrictive eligibility criteria than in the past, but they are still for very smart kids.  Stop trying to pretend they McPS’s selection process for these programs (primarily MAP scores) has been so accurate in identifying kids that it was a point of pride for the district It never was.  [/quote]

Then you explain why my 99+% kids never got chance to attend magnet? Even once? [/quote]

Because it’s a limited number of spots for kids who meet the eligibility criteria. That’s not the same as saying it’s an open lottery for all kids in McPS.  But you probably know that already and just like to complain.  [/quote]

They would have the opportunities to attend magnet before the lottery was implemented. You should know 85% and 99% are not the same. But instead you just play dumb.
