[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then Virginia decided to change its testing standards in a way that assessment people determine would torpedo Lee. Do they admit defeat? No.

By doing what? What bill was passed that changed the law?[/quote]

They have discretion. We don’t vote on testing standards. You are either wildly uninformed or choosing to make it crazy argument  to not actually respond to the true question.

As. A West Springfield parent, I am concerned about this. Because it will tank the value of my home.[/quote]

And this is exactly why this IB Center will never happen. Every WS parent will be out to stop this, along with parents from a number of other schools. Here are potential courses of action (from most likely to least likely):

1) FCPS does nothing and lets Lee go under state oversight.
2) FCPS coughs up the money and reopens the night school (maybe at Marshall, maybe at one of the alternative high schools, maybe it opens more than one) - this removes the problem from Lee without causing chaos.
3) FCPS does a massive shift in boundaries in order to open an IB magnet at Lee, spreading the Lee kids over a number of different high schools, pushing WS students to LB, LB kids to Robinson, all while [b]hoping[/b] enough students sign up for the IB magnet

Does my order seem right? With either number 1 or number 2, it would be a win just to go back to AP in place of IB.

Has the staff at Gatehouse considered the politics of this mess, particularly number 3?
