What a crock. Call us back when the local course offerings across the system are the same, with the same burden or lack thereof.

Exactly. My kids don't have enough math classes to graduate. MCPS hasn't come up with a solution. They bus some kids to other schools but told us we have to drive mid-day or go to MC (again with us driving) and logistically they couldn't make MC even work with the schedule they showed us.

If only every MCPS high school was located on a free public bus line… Wait! They are and MC2 students who don’t drive often use them to get to their on-campus classes the 3rd and 4th year. If your child thinks you have to drive them, take a weekend day and show them how to travel from their HS to one of MC’s three campuses.

Guess where most class are not offered. NEC. Guess where MC doesn't have a campus. NEC. So much for equity. Ignorant.

They opened a new center recently:

You mean the 11-classroom space (not campus) they opened that doesn't offer anything remotely applicable to high school students? (Look! You can take an intro stats course there! And an intro to college writing course there! And, and...um...and who from the NEC would need more anyway? Right? Right?!?)

The center that clearly is geared to serve an under-educated adult population in the area to provide them with some hope of basic non-menial employment?

The center that offers classes on collegiate schedules not compatible with daily high school attendance or, in a few cases, on an evening/weekend basis where students wouldn't be at the high school in the first place to be able to access the "free public bus line" suggested, above, as the panacea for the inequity of failing to offer reasonably similar classes in person at all schools?

And telling kids to use a significant portion of their day to travel access a course that is offered on-site during a normal school period in wealthier areas is blatantly inequitable.
