Missoula needs to vote in new school board that will listen, send message on levies

A quote from the letter follows:

"Costly programs like the International Baccalaureate with its own full-time coordinator, and the Big Sky Academy all have merit, but not in these economic times. This program money, Apostle’s raise and the money paid to the directors would go a long way in taking care of these basic needs that benefit all students and staff. When better economic times return, then look into these programs. Districts around Missoula are cutting teachers and closing schools, so could we be next?"

The mention of the International Baccalaureate Program is important to this blog on Prescott School. Missoula International School is a International Baccalaureate (IB for short) Program school!

An important for all Missoulian to ask:  Was the IB program implemented at Hellgate High School to aid MIS students continue their IB studies at taxpayer expense?  Go to truthaboutib.com for information on the downside of the IB program being implemented in our American schools across the county.

FYI: Superintendent Apostle has refused to post the costs of the IB program on the website per a citizen request. Also, Apostle has admitted via an email that there IS NOT A SINGLE LINE ITEM FOR IB!  Spreading out the costs of IB throughout a school system's budget is a method of hiding the full costs of an IB program according to information on the website mentioned above, truthaboutib.com.
