* Each of the 12 regions “buys”, or funds, some fixed number of spots for their students to attend Maggie Walker each year. So if a region funds 40 MW students, that region would send the money it would have spent on those 40 students to MW, to pay for their education there.

* When students are being ranked, or evaluated, for acceptance into MW, they are not all being ranked in one big pool.

Involved students, parents, and citizens have valid concerns about putting unqualified students in over their heads and about diminishing the current high quality education provided by MLWGS.
