[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any idea which of the current Hardy classes will be the first at this high school? Current 6th graders or 7th graders? The GDS space is not particularly well-suited for a 1000 student high school. Depending on the extent of the needed improvements, this might take a while. [/quote]

When they discussed this initially they thought one year.  But if they need $45 million in improvements wonder if that is feasible, unless the plans are ready to go now. [/quote]

I really hope my current Hardy 6th grader is given a choice to do Wilson. I have zero interest in having my heavily sports leaning child be relegated to a brand new school without key programs and facilities in place. [/quote]

I don't think the current cohort at Hardy will be affected at all. They would have to plan and design for the space (including a cafeteria), bid out,  start and finish construction in little over 2 years. Eaton renovation alone took that long. The current 5th graders in the Hardy feeders will likely be the first group in the new school.  I don't know how they plan the curricular offerings either. They can't just turn on a switch and have 1000 kids in the school, unless they allow for ~800 lottery spaces for 10-12 grades, can they? But that would be well over 50% OOB/at large spots. [/quote]
