[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]400 kids in IB. RM iwill be over crowded by similar number.

Shift IB to some other HS. IB doesn't need to be in RM.

Else shift Twinbrook ES to Woodward. [/quote]
IB isn't a separate program from the school. You can't just shift it out. All students are in the MYP in 9th and 10th grades, and students not in the magnet cohort join the IB Diploma in 11th and 12th grades. In addition to the 100 kids per grade from out of area, there are about 60-80 per grade of home school students completing the IB diploma. Sure, you could move the magnet students elsewhere - maybe to another existing IB school, but they all have overcrowding too. Perhaps Magruder? It's underenrolled. But creating an IB program from scratch is no easy task, and it isn't like Magrduer is central to the county like RM is. Moving the magnet is a non-starter.[/quote]

Then only other viable option is to shift Twinbrook to Woodward.[/quote]

You could move the 4 year magnet to a new school and leave the IB option for RM neighborhood kids there like at BCC or Rockville high.[/quote]
