[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went through 30 pages of comments and I think the problem is not really the replacement of some successful programs but rather a matter of trust. People have minimal (if any) trust in MCPS and this feeling is based on a history of terrible decisions. 
Hard to convince parents that your plan is actually good when you lack to provide significant info like how do you find the teachers, how is the admission going to happen, how do you measure the success of the new approach and what's your backup plan if it is not working. 
[b]A safer approach would have been to sunset the current programs gradually if the new approach delivers results.

Trust is everything and as someone mentioned before, these decision makers have no accountability. This might be another failure as many others with no consequences whatsoever. [/quote]
Yes, but they have already tried that with the four regional IBs.  What is the "success" of those programs?  As you stated, how is MCPS gauging whether those regional are successful?[/quote]

Remember on July 24th BOE meeting, the study team attributed the failure of regional IBs to the existence of RMIB, so far more students chose to travel far instead of staying in local that makes the local IB program lacking enough cohort. [/quote]
