"Providence District Representative Dalia Palchik says that the cost currently makes it infeasible to implement in-demand services like the International Baccalaureate programs in every school, noting that enrollment in IB programs is sometimes closed due to a lack of capacity."

This is not my impression at all.  I'm pretty sure that more want AP.  Someone posted a list of AP/IB PP, but I cannot find it.  Which is getting more?  And, of course, it is difficult to tell about demand because some schools close their placements.  [/quote]

Very few tears would be shed across Fairfax County if IB was eliminated or severely cut back. IB Diplomas make up under 4% of all Fairfax County high school diplomas despite being available to approximately 30% of students. IB rates at some schools are terribly low. The School Board has been negligent in not addressing the obvious issues with IB in Fairfax. None of the AP schools are lobbying to become an IB school.[/quote]
