Probably not. It’s usually presented at every/other-meeting.

I how the BoE stands up to this.

I don't support keeping random IB programs. They cost money and will inevitably be worse than the regional version. What is the point?

Rockville HS's local IB program outperforms regional IB programs at Springbrook and Kennedy.

So? Rockville will be in a region with RM, so again, it would make no sense to keep their local program.

It's hard to have meaningful discussions when MCPS isn't sharing information and possibly doesn't even know itself, but, the information given so far says the plan is to shrink the existing programs while making more deployments. So how would RMIB's part-local cohort plus Rockville's all-local cohort together fit inside the new smaller regional program?

Rockville's IB program isn't all local. The Career-related IB program is open to Grade 8 students who live in the following HS clusters: Magruder, Rockville, Richard Montgomery, Sherwood, Northeast Consortium (NEC)- Paint Branch, Springbrook, Blake, and Downcounty Consortium (DCC)– Blair, Einstein, Northwood, Kennedy, Wheaton

Next board meeting after that is September 25th. Revised sets of maps/options are supposed to come out "in September." Unclear whether they will do it before the board meeting or after.
