Support For Superintendent’s New Plan


A letter to the editor giving support for superintendent William Hite Jr’s plan to change our high schools.  Find out more information in February 2nd, blog post A New Plan for Our High Schools.

William Hite Jr., superintendent of Prince George’s County public schools, has the unenviable task of balancing out enrollment at county high schools — but he is going a step further. In addition to modifying school boundaries, he is also seeking to group schools to provide better access to challenging curricula and popular programs.

For example, in each cluster of schools students would have access to a science and technology program, a career and technical program and an International Baccalaureate program (advanced level courses), allowing students to transfer within their cluster to access programs available at another school.

Timing this effort while high school boundaries are being reworked will allow officials to ensure enrollment matches with available resources.
