Like it's only acceptable if it's mostly IB.  Defeats the purpose and spirit of public school.  And if the principal is on a campaign to eliminate OOB, then it's even more undesirable. You can't just say, "this is OUR school-- get out!"[/quote]

I'm sorry, encouraging in-boundary attendance is not the same as eliminating OOB.

Hardy isn't even full this year. It didn't hit its enrollment goal, and lost some funding as a result and there are empty classrooms. According to principal Price, every kid who applied OOB was admitted. Even if every IB kid attended there would still be room for lots of OOB. Look at the history of Deal and its feeders: there has been absolutely zero political will to limit the OOB population. Whenever possible facilities have been expanded far beyond what is needed for the IB kids. Deal is 35% OOB and they're adding a new wing, and they're expanding Deal feeders that are majority OOB. My prediction is that if Hardy were to start being as attractive as Deal they would kick out Fillmore and add trailers before they would limit OOB enrollment.[/quote]
