[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can find lots of info about the new Woodward HS plans here:

But the opening date has recently been pushed back to fall of 2026.[/quote]
The website you linked appears to still say Fall 2025, where did you hear that it’s shifted to 2026?[/quote]

It's in the current CIP:

Charles W. Woodward High School
Capital Project: To address the urgent space needs at Walter Johnson High School and the Downcounty Consortium high schools, an FY  2021 appropriation for construction was approved to reopen the school. The Board of Education approved that Charles W. Woodward High School be used as a holding school, starting in August 2023. for Northwood High School for two years. Northwood High School will return to its facility in August 2025. An FY 2023 appropriation was requested for construction cost increases and the balance of construction funds. However, due to fiscal constraints, the County Council, in the adopted FY2023-2028 CIP, delayed this project one year. The additional expenditures were approved, but the scheduled completion date for the reopening of Charles W. Woodward High School is now August 2026.

And, to be clear, the dates they have there for Northwood are now delayed as well. So, as of now, Northwood is in phase I of the Woodward building as a holding school for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 school years, and Woodward phase II reopens as a new HS for the 2026-27 school year.[/quote]
