That’s unlikely. They’ll put any program like this in high FAMS school since it’s actual purpose is integration.

Nope. Only 2 new High Schools are in the pipeline. Crown and Woodward. No talks of either one being an IB magnet school.

Not necessarily... they will place it in an existing HS.

This is not true. I know for a fact that there is a MCPS proposal to be discussed this week for 4 (or 3) new schools to be named IB magnet schools. They are not new schools - they are existing schools to host the program similar to Richard Montgomery High School.

I think there is a meeting coming up about special programs. Perhaps that is what this is about?

An IB school isn't a "magnet" unless admissions are selective, as at RM. Otherwise it's just one more low-performing school in MCPS saddled with an IB program.
