Abstract

MCPS is reorganizing its high school specialty programs, ending countywide recruitment for its marquee magnets, and introducing 30 separate programs and 84 pathways across 6 regions. Sunil Dasgupta talks with parent volunteers Rebekah Kuschmider and Audra Dove, members of the Opportunity Design Team organized by MCPS to engage the community, about whether MCPS can really deliver on its promises on equity and learning.
