[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just learned that Glenarden Woods Elementary is moving into the location being vacated by the Goddard French Immersion school in Greenbelt, MD until their renovations are complete in 2 years.  I am wondering if any of the Glenarden parents have been notified.  Why does the administration make decisions and then it trickles down to the parents just before school is over for the year?  That[b] leaves little time and energy to inquire, rally and try to persuade alternative decisions[/b].[/quote]

If you had any idea about the work that goes into finding and preparing a suitable location to temporarily house an entire school, you might view this differently. It stinks to have kids have to travel any farther than necessary; that's always one of the drawbacks of a TAG center.

I don't know about the exact process or timing for GA Woods, but I do know many  sites are considered before a decision is made... and really, how many quality empty schools are sitting around waiting to be used while one school gets a total reno. The schools not scheduled for reno will have more to complain about than the parents in the school that are up for renovation.[/quote]

I agree, the schools who are not being renovated would have much to complain about too.  My issue mostly starts with the lack of communication.  I am sure that it was known before last month that GWES was up for renovation.  As you state, there are not alot of empty schools available.  So, I am sure PGCPS must have known that RGMS would be the home for GWES.  It seems strange that this info leaked out a few weeks before the end of the school year.  So, when will GWES parents be notified?  I heard there might have been a letter sent by the GWES principal.  Families may have to make major adjustments to drop off or pick up their children from a location that is much further away for some.[/quote]
