- More detail on Program Model. They got into some forecasting on how program enrollment scenarios will impact student movement and building utilization. Taylor used this information to reinforce why the Program Analysis and Boundary Studies are inextricably linked.

They are linked, but the numbers in their own reports don't seem to add up. That's the frustration, for me at least. FWIW, I support H.

What about a magnetism magnet?

OMG you must be kidding.

They've been saying this from the beginning. Their own historical data shows a lot more kids leave some schools than others, but they seem to think that will magically change. They still haven't bothered to survey 4th-7th grade families to see what programs their students are interested in. Supposedly the survey will come out next week. Obviously way too late to make program changes using actual data instead of fantasy projections. Please keep emailing the board with your concerns.

It's not too late to make program changes. I'm sure there will continue to be changes in programs long after the board votes.

With Mr. O there and the fact that Jessie and Mr. O are good friends, I think he can fine-tune the program allocation in the next year, making more sense of utilization and/or equity. I personally trust Mr. O. But I trusted Julie Yang before, so let's see how long he can sustain in CO without becoming part of the corrupted ones.

Who's Jessie?

Jessie Franklin, the female sitting on the right-hand side of Mr. O yesterday. She is the lead designer of the entire regional program, and the one told us that it's easy to change a game design program to fashion design program if the former fails.

Jeannie Franklin

So she is the one who, after facing the complaint from the Woodward community that the art magnet will make the school weak, quickly constructed the AI and data science magnet. I suggest also adding quantum physics and evolutionary biology magnet to sweeten the deal.

I was hopping that Mr. O will make a positive impact on the magnet model design. But it seems that they brought him in only for logistics and that they will go with their 'the more magnets with fancy names the better' philosophy full speed ahead.

"equitable" in MCPS speak actually means "equally bad"

There certainly will be. Like all the programs that will be eliminated when they fail to attract kids.

That obnoxious tone was evident throughout Taylor's behavior during the entire work session. He is arrogant, classless and disrespectful.

It's a pattern.
