Quick Summary / Abstract:
|
Staff will report on the status of Joe Michell TK-8 School, an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, and Granada High School International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme.
|
|
Background:
|
The International Baccalaureate (IB) was founded in Geneva, Switzerland in 1968 by a group of forward-thinking teachers from the International School of Geneva. The initial IB Diploma Programme was intended for internationally mobile students, primarily children of diplomats, who were university bound. Today, there are four IB programmes for students from elementary through high school age. For more than 50 years, IB programs have gained a reputation for international mindedness, high academic standards, preparation of students for life in a globalized 21st century, and helping to develop the citizens who will create a better, more peaceful world.

|
Status
:
|
Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District is uniquely fortunate to have three IB Programmes available as options for families due to committed staff, dedicated leadership, and a supportive Board of Education. Joe Michell TK-8 School offers both the Primary Years Programme and the Middle Years Programme for all students in Grades Transitional Kindergarten (TK)-8. Granada High School offers the IB Diploma Programme for Grades 11-12, and is currently a candidate school for the Middle Years Programme in Grades 9-10.
|
|
Fiscal Impact
:
|
Funding for implementation and continuance of the International Baccalaureate Progammes will be from the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) designated General Fund and Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) dollars. Efforts are underway to increase enrollment of English Learner, Socioeconomically Disadvantaged, and foster youth students in the IB progammes.
