St Helena is the school Incline IB supporters looked to early on to as a model for what Incline could become.  Now after two years the high school students at St Helena are attempting to eliminate IB at the high school, and the administration is recommending replacing the K-8 IB programme.  Incline could either stop this ridiculous programme now and cut the losses or continue until we are in the same position as St Helena.  The article states:

"It has become painfully obvious that the more parents and students learn of the IB program, the less they want to be involved.  IB is unnecessary, impractical, and less useful to students than AP classes.  In February administrators recommended replacing the K-8 IB program...  Students say the implementation of IB classes has cut other much-needed classes, many of which were geared toward a wider array of students...  AP is far more likely than IB to be recognized by American colleges and universities.  The letter concludes that the district should cut its losses rather than continue to pour time, money and effort into a poor investment."

"Trustees voted 5-0 to adopt a recommendation by district administrators to suspend IB for grades K-10.  The district has spent about $1 million on IB so far."
