[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For two years, if I were a Northwood parent, I would push pretty hard for the Woodward solution.  "Holding Schools" that are old buildings are not great - at least in my experience, which has been limited to the elementary level.  There are dozens of portable classrooms; the main physical plant is too small for today's enrollments, so the core areas like the library and cafeteria are dysfunctional.  The Woodward option gives them a full high school experience.  For the bulk of those kids, it is half their high school experience.  The distance will be a big pain, but I wouldn't settle for a retro-fitted holding school if I could get something brand new as a holding school.  Of course, if they are talking about a knock-down build out of Broome as a new holding school, that is a different story.[/quote]

I don't know that it would be financially prudent, or possible, to do a knock-down build out of Broome just so it could be a holding school into the future. I think if they spend some money on improvements there to make it more functional and modern (the fields are already in good shape), that would be the best way to spend the money.[/quote]
