[quote=Anonymous][quote]That is a most confusing recommendation with more time spent on cute graphics than actual cost analysis. We have current high school students that under the latest recommendation would be assigned a new high school. Is she recommending our children would be covered? I think so. If they decide it cost too much, hopefully they prioritize current high school at the top as that has the greatest impact.[b] Imagine students at an AP school being sent to an IB school or vice versa.[/quote]

Excellent post.  I had not thought about the bolded.  But, it is an example of all the lack of planning and consideration to this mess.

Do they ever sit down and think "what is the down side of this?  How could it impact students?  How could it impact families? "

They need to eliminate the IB program at traditional high schools. If they want to make it a magnet or two, then do it--but not where you in-boundary school has a different program from the school next door.

Have they ever done a survey of the families that live in boundary at a school of what they want?  They should not include those that opt-in because they may have an ulterior motive.

From what i read here--and the people I know--I'm pretty confident the families in boundary at South Lake would much prefer AP.

If a program is not succeeding for most students--or a large amount of students--why keep it?
It is expensive and confusing.
