[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The IB program also costs FCPS far more than the AP program. It requires an IB coordinator. It is not worth the extra expense in these times.[/quote] Nor are the countless hours and evaluators involved in separating AAP students from General Ed, fielding appeals, etc. when many if not most of those children could be educated at their base schools. I'd start there if we're looking to cut costs. Then we could get rid of all the AARTs and hire more teachers for smaller classes. Plenty of money being thrown away there as well. Remember, the IB programs were put into schools that were not doing well, so people wanted to leave them. Many of those IB schools are now thriving and drawing bright kids from other schools specifically for the full IB. [/quote]
