I agree. Starting with 3 regions and then MAYBE expanding to 6 regions over time as the system iterates and refines program management makes more sense to me than expecting to launch 6 regions with all of the various program offerings that the system is currently anticipating rolling out.

Creating numerous special programs sugarcoated with attractive names and descriptions and making every HS to host multiple "special programs". Only through this way that they can attract enough students to meet their goal.


THIS, and why is no one listening/paying attention? And, why doesn't MCPS just come out and say it? So much for transparency
