[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Woodward will be done except an auditorium. Not a huge deal. The commute is. They aren't going to increase the number of students at other schools as there is no space. Its a mix of lottery and other factors for getting a spot in other schools.[/quote] This is untrue. Firstly, not having an auditorium for all 3 years is terrible. Auditoriums are used all the time at schools for theater, dance performances, assemblies, AP exams, testing, talent show, etc. Sports fields will not be ready either. This will affect not only all outdoor athletics but PE as well. Only one indoor gym space will be available to Northwood students and no completed outdoor space. There will be no student parking available as only staff parking spaces will be completed when Northwood arrives. Longer commuting time means some kids will be picked up as early as 6 am and will be dumped at school 45 minutes before the start of school. MCPS also wants the school day to end earlier for Northwood as they need the buses to get to their next shift on time. There are other issues as well. MCPS was not honest with the community about Woodward being completed and now it is too late for students to try to switch to other schools. MCPS should have delayed the move by one more year if the school is not ready to accept students [/quote] Students can take the bus. [/quote] DP -- for an extra hour and a half each day. Or something like that, no? And doesn't this mean that the faculty who need to be supporting those activities also have to spend more time of their day doing the same? Is there a program in place to compensate them for this from MCPS general funds instead of that allocated to the school (or to boost the school allocation, accordingly)? Or are Northwood students going to lose out on this, too, because staff won't be as available?[/quote]
