Our admin is selling this as the be-all end-all...
I would be concerned... when a school thinks something is an end-all be-all solution, it often signifies that they are reacting to a problem and this is there solution, a solution that they will put in place and then just assume the problems are over.
An IB program takes a lot of work to really do the correct way and I would wonder how many teachers will be given the training to run the program... finding out will tell you just how serious the school is. I've seen schools that had multiple teachers working the program and it worked fine, I've also seen schools where it was run and maintained by a single teacher that was tasked with doing it all in addition to her other duties... as you can imagine there were issues in the school that tried to do it on the cheap.
Before you jump for joy or scream in horror, try to find out how they plan on implementing the change. Then you can decide if they are just wasting resources on window dressing to a problem or are actually making improvements.
