I understood what the PP was saying.  People have dug up the relevant sections before from the FCPS budget, which runs hundreds of pages, and IB clearly is more expensive on a per student basis.  Something isn't false merely because you haven't engaged in the same time-consuming exercise yet again. [/quote]

Agree. There are pages on dcum about this. Why do people feel they can discredit information by claiming someone else is lying just because they haven't put a footnote to explain where they got the information from. If you look in the program budget book and search for the fees you will see the fees there. Look at Page 54 and 58 of the FY 15 program budget book as an example. In that book it says $3.7 million was the cost for AP which served 16,852 students at around $220 more than a general ed classroom, and $3.3 million was the cost for IB which served 5754 students at around $575 more than a general ed classroom. Even without worrying about who passed tests or got diplomas, the IB program per class is about 2.5 times the cost of an AP class.[/quote]
