It looks like Broughton High School has a chance to keep its International Baccalaureate program even though it's still losing its status as a magnet school.

The school board's stuent achievement committee agreed Tuesday to recommend allowing Broughton to remain an IB themed non-magnet school. The full board could vote Tuesday.

The big caveat here is that the recommendation doesn't include a guarantee of funding once the magnet money runs out in 2013. The program could die then unless $180,000 a year is scrounged up to keep it running at Broughton.

UPDATE

REVISED TO REFLECT THAT IT'S NOW ESTIMATED IT
WOULD COST $180,000 AND NOT $150,000 ON AN ANNUAL BASIS TO KEEP THE IB
PROGRAM AT BROUGHTON STARTING IN 2013

We've got four new principals tonight, including one for Broughton High School.

Stephen Mares will be Broughton's new principal. He's been principal of Daniels Middle School since 2005.

The start date at Broughton and the end date at Daniels hasn't been set yet.
