TAG campuses quiet after Dealey Montessori schedules a hasty meeting to move to a Talented and Gifted campus.
Earlier this week, Dallas Independent School District‘s jewel Montessori campus had a community meeting. The goal was to become a Talented and Gifted campus despite having TAG programs already.
Statements from teachers say this follows the rushed announcement of Amber Garrett as principal.
It also follows what was the departure of one student who wanted to be TAG, but wasn’t qualified by testing. That student returned after being unsuccessful on another campus.
TAG Campuses Quiet
Neither Sudie Williams TAG, nor Travis TAG, representatives would respond to emails asking for comment.
PTA Presidents and Site Based Decision Making chairs were requested to comment about Dealey becoming a competing campus. Crickets was the response.
Annually, Dallas magnet schools complete against one another for the best and brightest students.
Sudie Williams SBDM Chair Lorin McGuire referred us to Dallas ISD coordinator of Strategic Communications.
Their office has previously refused to comment to us on multiple issues.
