[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoa. Jeannie Franklin admitted that schools with existing programs won't get any new staff or resources.

Instead, the bulk of new resources will go to schools getting magnets for the first time, which means Wooton, Churchill, WJ, and BCC. [/quote]

BCC is not getting a magnet for the first time.  Or rather, the IB program that already exists is just going to become the "magnet". [/quote]

It will need more teachers[/quote]

I thought none of the programs are getting new teachers, just perhaps some extra training.[/quote]

If they don't change BCC boundaries but put in a new criteria based program that adds 200 students from other schools, their staff allocation will increase and other schools' staff allocations decrease.[/quote]

The idea is that it would be canceled out by BCC students leaving for programs at the other 4 schools (whether that would play out in reality is an open question).[/quote]

Again, the notion that programs won't increase or decrease enrollment at any school runs contrary to their continued and insistent assertion that the program model and boundary study are inextricably connected with one another.[/quote]

Yeah, I agree there's no way that at every school the student "imports and exports" will net out to zero. And I think they know that, which is one reason for the argument that it's linked to the boundary changes. But I don't know if BCC, for example, would really net a significant # of students under this system to significantly increase their allocation to hire new teachers.[/quote]
