   The subject of IB funding is a product of ‘fuzzy math’. When a budget is presented for review there aren’t any specifics found. This is evidenced through many school districts that are IB candidates.I found a budget, be it old, that lays out one school districts financial burden. Copy and paste Slate Hill Elementary School into your browser. Turn to their page 49-50. These cost figures are old, but the thing to look at is the percentage it goes up over five years. http://www.worthington.k12.oh.us/uploads/2/File/…/slatehillrenewal.pdf
   The costs went from $25,000 for one school per school year 2007-2008 to $242,400 for one school five years later, or their new fiscal budget for 2012-2013. This is an increase of 969.6%. It will be interesting to see what our district projects for the next five years.

   Look at the budget for:
   Training (this is normally a large expense because teachers travel all over the country and outside the country sometimes)
   Application Fees ( Consideration Phase – $4,000 Part A – $9,500 Part B – $9,500 )
   (Schools are required to pay IB annual membership fees for the two years a school undergoes the authorization process)
   CAS Supervisor
   EE Supervisor
   Books, materials and postage
   Registration fees
   Authorization dues
   Testing fees
   Cost for substitutes when teachers are out of the classroom during “training”
   Assessment fees
