Rumor busting: IB school

No, programs are not slated for elimination. The proposal for a new program says (in bold) the following:

It should be clearly noted and understood that this "Pilot Innovation Academy" is not designed to replace or supplant any of the existing programs serving gifted and high achieving students. Rather, the "Pilot Innovation Academy" will be an additional option within the Worcester Public Schools portfolio of school and program options. The district will continue strong support for and enhancement of those existing programs.

Please pass this along.

Wow. It looks as though THIS is a post that's going to need updating!
