Look.  Everyone has ideas about what should happen.  But, there has to be some sort of objective decision.  That seems terribly lacking in this process.

There are certain things that then SB should consider:

1. It would appear that most people prefer AP over IB.  So, why is it assigned to certain schools --not because the in boundary people want it--but because a SB thought it was a good idea?  This is NOT equity.  Having to provide transportation keeps some people from opting into another school.
In fact, I'd love to see the breakdown of which students are achieving the diploma at IB schools.  Is it the in-boundary or the "opt-ins."
I'd also like to see the Pupil Placement statistics based on the reason given for the transfer.  What proportion of those kids that PP for IB secure the IB diploma vs the in boundary students.

2. Proximity is an objective measure.  Desiring to keep your boundary is not.

3. Schools that are crowded-or soon expected to be overcrowded--is an objective reason to redistribute those students.

When you make your arguments, you should use valid, objective measures.
