[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS is hoping that having magnet IB programs in these schools will bring in more non-farms families. Could work. I would have chosen a stem magnet program, but since these schools already had IB, I guess it makes sense to build on the initial investment.[/quote]

It also will presumably limit the RM IB to a regional catchment area and not be county-wide.  So some students who might have gone to RM IB will have the option to go to WM, Kennedy, or Springbrook instead.  Right?[/quote]

It won't be an option, as I understand it. Instead of RMIB being a county-wide program, there will now be 4 programs, with eligibility for the specific program depending on where you live in the county. I think this is a positive step. And DCUM should too, since DCUM has been yelling for years about the need to expand the number of seats.

So my kid who was going to apply to RMIB next year, will instead apply to WMIB.

And hey, if my kid gets in and chooses to go, my kid will be in an application IB program IN A W SCHOOL! :-)[/quote]
