[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guys, guys, this is the equivalent of shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic. Not too long from now there won't be any seats for over a thousand kids. I have no faith in the SB's CIP that magically promises 1300 seats in 2022. We're all going to be screwed when that happens, so let's try to work together. [/quote]

+1000. I also agree with the PP who suggested that they should put IB at Wakefield-- that would create socio-economic diversity without these awful boundary fights. [/quote]

... will it? I think some families have used IB to get out of Wakefield. I agree that a coveted program could be a huge benefit. [/quote]

A lot of families have used it for that purpose.

They lose their get out of jail free card if it moves to Wakefield.

Not convinced kids from YHS will go to Wakefield just for IB like some do to WL[/quote]

+1 not sure what would be enticing enough. [/quote]

Could the county make its own TJ?  Make it really rigorous and application-only, and promise to cap it at a 120-seat-per-grade school within a school, and I bet half the county would apply.[/quote]

How would this help the concentration of poverty at Wakefield?[/quote]

House it at Wakefield.  Kind of like IB at WL, but focused on science and housed at Wakefield.

Another possibility would be Spanish immersion[/b].[/quote]

Wakefield already has this. We are the Spanish Immersion HS. Not enough of a draw at the HS level. [/quote]
