[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This would be so much easier if the School Board would eliminate IB at South Lakes.  A lot of parents really don't like it.[/quote]

For some reason, the SB members looooove IB and are always gassing it up. It hits a lot of educational buzzwords that certain advocacy groups love. “Lifelong learners” and “global citizens.” [/quote]

If FCPS is required to keep the number of IB high schools the same, they could possibly move IB from SLHS to the future West County HS. Moreover, if KAA’s IB students already live close to the academy, then they could easily continue with the IB Program. Of course, I have no idea how many KAA students live near the academy. And FCPS would have to engage with the feeder school communities on the pros/cons of moving IB out of one high school and into a new one. [/quote]

Something tells me that the current KAA students aren’t going to be slumming it at public school. Lol. [/quote]

Actually, the new high school will likely have a pretty diverse population.  It is quite unlikely to have Langley demographics.[/quote]

Isn’t Langley close to majority minority? Oh I see, you only count certain races in your quotas. How very racist of you.[/quote]

No.  I was talking about FARMS and non English speakers.[/quote]

More:  Langley is below 5% on both.  NONE of those elementary schools considered are close to that.  Some are not  high FARMS or English learners --but none are below 5%.  And, two of the schools are pretty high on both.

And, I live near there and that is fine with me.  [/quote]
