[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thinking about this region, here are the programs I know about.

BCC - IB, PLTW
Blair - SMACS, CAP
Einstein - IB
Northwood
Whitman - Social Justice

Are there any other programs I am missing? Does Northwood have a program?

If not - my guess is that Einstein loses IB, BCC loses PLTW, and Blair loses CAP. Then PLTW and CAP move to Northwood/Einstein. [/quote]

Northwood has MC2, ROTC. Einstein has the VAC program (which is actually county-wide). Don't all schools have PLTW--isn't it just an online thing?[/quote]

No PLTW is a series of engineering classes. It includes an exam that can provide college credit at certain schools. https://www.pltw.org/

So maybe B-CC keeps PLTW, Northwood keeps its programs, and Einstein takes CAP. [b]I can’t imagine Einstein keeping its IB program[/b].

Huh? Why not?[/quote]

Because they will only have one in each cluster, and BCC’s is much stronger. [/quote]

Does it say this somewhere, or you are assuming something?[/quote]

That’s what they have said in the presentations to the Board so far. [/quote]

But IB hasn't been mentioned in that way. It's been mentioned alongside AP as a type of advanced level classes that would be available at every school. [/quote]

No IB will not be at every school. [b]They are saying that if IB is available at a school, then the same AP class amy NOT be available[/b]. There will be (at most) one IB diploma program per reguon.[/quote]

So you are forced to take IB classes if your school gets chosen for IB program? [/quote]

No[/quote]
