Or is that considered a local program?

[b]More broadly, what is the definition of a local program that is not centrally managed?[/b] [/quote]

It's a program that the school offers to its own students who express interest, not one that's on this list: [url]https://docs.google.com/document/d/18ovH1xt873E-0-dqjWCz00koPlHeACK6YwyekZ9zngQ/preview?tab=t.0[/url][/quote]

Is Project Lead the Way a local program or a centrally managed one?[/quote]

MCPS purchases the curriculum:

So does that mean it's centrally controlled? If so, then a bunch of schools that currently offer it will be losing it.[/quote]

No, centrally controlled programs are ones where students have to apply through central office. Locally controlled programs are run by the school just for their own students. There are some centrally controlled PLTW programs and some locally controlled ones, depending on the school.[/quote]

They are removing some current local programs. For example, Einstein will no longer have IB. Compare the assets analysis with where the programs are - lots of current local programs will be going away.[/quote]

No, that's a misinterpretation. The slides with the new programs by region are only including the centrally managed regional programs, not the local programs which a school may also have. [/quote]

No, these programs are listed as assets earlier in the presentation - seems clear to me they will be gettig rid of them. There are local programs that are not listed as assets. Those are the ones that will stay. For example, BCC has a media studies certificate program. That's a true local program, the type that will stay.[/quote]

It says on slide 26, about the asset maps: "Local non-centrally managed courses and pathways are not reflected"[/quote]
