"Why the International Baccalaureate Program is Un-American"
Please watch this You Tube video on the topic of the International Baccalaureate Program which now has many programs in the Missoula school system expanding to all grades. The International Baccalaureate program is an United Nations off shoot and does not teach our children in a traditional American curriculum. Watch Out!! This IB curriculum is dangerous for our country's children!
Again, please watch this You Tube video.

MCPS MAKES YET ANOTHER TRAGIC AND MALEVOLENT MISTAKE IN CLOSING COLD SPRINGS SCHOOL AND ALLOWING A DAY CARE ON THE PREMISES
Dear Missoulians and other citizens around these great United States,
Why does Missoula school watchdog address the entire country in this post? It is due to NOBODY listening or paying attention, at least as far as Missoula school watchdog is aware of, to what is going on in Missoula, Montana, including most if not ALL Missoulians and even the Missoula County Public Schools Board of Trustees - thus the reason for addressing the country. Maybe someone out there will read how the Missoula County Public Schools system is so malevolent and so mismanaging it's assets and how it is providing a risky and low level education to Missoula's students.
As a "Missoula Girl" and as the writer of this blog, I can say that the closing of Cold Springs School in the southern part of our city was another sad and heartbreaking action taken by MCPS.
The closure was unnecessary and wreckless. A school closure in Missoula is always taken up with little thought to the short and long term consequences for the students, families, neighborhooods, and the city itself, including the entire county. Again, why the entire country? Because what happens in one part of the country effects the entire country. There is a boomerang effect when bad things happen in an area.
Some information that needs to be included, however brief, is that the closure of Cold Springs can be mostly blamed on one or two dishonest MCPS Board members. Did you know that former MCPS high school Trustee, Drake Lemm was the FIRST Trustee to mention the closure of Cold Springs way back in 2006 at a Board Meeting discussing MCPS properties? In other subsequent MCPS meetings including MCPS Ad Hoc Property Meetings, always with Drake Lemm present, the closure of Cold Springs School was mentioned and a "substitute" school was proposed - that is the building of a school in the Miller Creek area, more specifically the Maloney Ranch area.
In meeting after meeting the closure of Cold Springs was mentioned. Then, in the fraudulent MCPS facilities bond plans, the closure of Cold Springs was again proposed and a plan to build a new school was brought forward in an even more aggressive manner.
Missoula School Watchdog would like to mention a fact that all Missoulians need to know - and, as mentioned above, the entire country. That is that the MCPS high school Trustee, Drake Lemm has property, an entire subsivision in the Miller Creek area. It is named the DJ subdivision. (msw does not know if that is the actual name of the subdivision, however, that is the name of the street on which he, as a contractor, builds his homes).
On a radio talk show today the issue of Cold Springs being used for a day care was mentioned. This topic was extremely painful for me, again as a "Missoula Girl", as I attended Cold Springs in elementary school back in the '60's. It was a nice school back then and contrary to MCPS officials was not in horribly bad condition when closed. The montra heard from these officials was always Cold Springs was just basically a bunch of units from Colstrip brought in many years ago. Yes, there may have been some of those units, however, there was a lot of the older portions of the building that were not units from Colstrip which one would not have known if you just listened to MCPS officials with an agenda not conducive to the public's good, that of keeping the neighborhood schools.

Missoulian article on expanding the International Baccalaruate program to Washington (msw Rattlesnake-Washington) Middle School!!
https://missoulian.com/news/local/washington-middle-school-works-toward-international-baccalaureate-status/article_3ab42330-8f63-587f-9d7a-10f76e872bf6.html#tracking-source=home-top-story-1
See the link above for the Missoulians article on the International Baccalaureate program slated to be implemented at Washington Middle School (which remember really needs to be renamed Rattlesnake-Washington Middle School due to the closure of Rattlesnake Middle School in 2004 and then sending those students to WMS).
Superintendent Alex Apostle had the plan to implement the IB program at all levels of education in Missoula. (told to me personally as part of his plans for MCPS).
There are some sources that give a less than stellar view of the IB program.
One is - IB Unraveled by Debra Niwa
Another is the YouTube video by Debra Niwa
Also see the YouTube video about IB titled, "The International Baccalaureate Program Unraveled".
Here is the link for the YouTube video -

MCPS - Problem with enough text books!!
eagnews.org/montana-school-district-no-elementary-math-books-but-superintendent-gets-45k-raise/
It appears, that unlike in the past a website needs to be copied and pasted into the search bar of google or other browser. It used to be that all one had to do is click on the link - does anyone know what is going on here?
The above link is for information regarding the lack of math textbooks while at the same time former Superintendent Alex Apostle was in the process of getting a $45,000 raise!!
Hope the link works! I've been having trouble sharing information from other forums. Unfortunately!

Kennedy Center selects Missoula to join school arts network
Click on the link below to read the Missoulian article published in the August 13, 2013 edition and written by Rob Chaney.

Missoula School Watchdog is a little leery of the STEM acronym in regard to programs for our schools. Is it connected to the United Nations just as the International Baccalaureate Program? msw will have do a little more digging and look into the above question. msw agrees with the comments of "movingon" and is not a fan at all of Superintendent Alex Apostle. In closing, I thought I'd post another comment by "buzzfeedback" (one of msw favorite Missoulian posters) posted in the comment section of the Missoulian artlce: Buzz Feedback - 1 hour ago

"Congratulations to the MCPS fine arts teachers and John Combs on this wonderful recognition to all your hard work. Make no mistake, however, Alex Apostle had NOTHING to do with the Kennedy Center partnering with Missoula Schools. This was achieved thanks to John Combs and other community members who did the hard work to complete the application. Apostle is nothing but a bully who leads by intimidation and subtle threats to teachers and staff. When good news comes along, he lets you know that he expects to be the one taking the credit."
"Tune in next week when Big Al cuts arts funding because the last School Board didn't bother to come up with the money to cover his raise in the out years."
