[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the link. Some interesting and eye-opening information there, particularly as it relates to the after-school offerings. I think the committee has done a great service in itemizing what each school provides, so that parents know what other options even exist.

Couple of questions:

The report makes clear that "the comments from AAPAC reflected a majority of the committee but not unanimity," yet the signature page at the end does not reveal any who opposed or even abstained from the approval vote. So what gives?

On page 7, the report mentions "Seven additional schools (3 Middle Schools, 3 High Schools and 1 secondary) are considering introducing IBMYP programs next year as part of the continuum of studies for an IB diploma." Any idea which high schools are considering adding IBMYP?

What's next for the recommendations? SB to adopt and request that FCPS provide an implementation schedule?

Is there any thought to making AAPAC a permanent committee? It would be nice to have a group that is now up to speed monitor the program.

Thank you for your comments.  (And yes, AAPAC is a permanent advisory committee.)

As to your questions -- regarding the "majority of the committee but not unanimity" issue -- this refers to the AAPAC comments to the 
School Board regarding the AAP Expansion Proposal (Appendix 1).  The three high schools that are considering introducing IBMYP are Edison, Lee, and Marshall.

The School Board will likely ask questions during the report's presentation on Thursday (May 30). Normally staff will then respond (over the summer) to the recommendations in writing.
