MCPS Budget News: The County Council and Board of Education approved a budget cutting $53 million from MCPS's original request for FY2015-16 (Press Release). This included a cut of 7.0 FTE to High School Special Programs, which will result in a cut of 1.0 FTE for the Blair Magnet program. As a result, the Magnet will no longer be able to offer certain smaller classes such as Astronomy, 3-D Graphics, Advanced Geometry, and Plate Tectonics/Oceanography.
