[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS has a consent item on the agenda for the 12/3 meeting to enter into a new 10-year contract with the IBO that would increase annual IB payments to the IBO from about $1.69 million per year to $2.0 million over the next five years.

Why should FCPS commit now to pay the IBO $10 million when there needs to be an assessment of whether IB should be discontinued at many of the current IB high schools with unsuccessful IB programs and very few IB diploma graduates?

IDK.  12/2/25 work session has item 3.02 on secondary course offerings. https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/vpublic?open
That includes:
Add 1.0 Weight to GPA
 ● IB SL Ab Initio

Note Honors English is .5 GPA bump but Standard Level IB English is 1. https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/DN5JVB4EC30C/$file/SB%20Attachment%20FCPS%20Course%20Review%20Recs%20-%202026-27SY.pdf

Apparently adding 2 for  credit courses to assist Diploma candidates- Core Support for the IB DP (11)  and Core Support for the IB DP (12).  So the program budget doesn't accurately reflect the costs - nobody at Gatehouse works on IB?  In addition to the staffer required at each school there are now 2 more courses.  If there are few diploma candidates what is this??? [/quote]
