Statement: “We don’t have an [International Baccalaureate] program at any high school south of (Interstate 8) — San Diego High has one there, but other than that, the rest of that area, there is none,” San Diego Unified school board member Shelia Jackson said at a meeting Nov. 10.
Analysis: Last week, the school board had a heated debate about whether to focus more federal money for disadvantaged students on schools with the very highest levels of poverty.
