Missoula Embrace School IB Program

Item: Washington Foundation donates $50K to Missoula International Baccalaureate Program/Michael Moore, Missoulian

More Info: The foundation gave the money to the school district to support development of an international baccalaureate program, which will be housed at Hellgate High School. The Washingtons have long had a soft spot for education, particularly the University of Montana. In fact, Halligan said Missoula's school system is a top selling point when trying to lure people to Missoula. "It's something that's a very natural thing for us to support," he said.

Question: Will controversy surround the International Baccalaureate program in Missoula as it has in the Coeur d'Alene School District?
