[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoa, the breakdown of which programs will be at which high schools is interesting...[/quote]

Moving Performing Arts from Einstein to Northwood is a big risk. Their holding school doesn’t even have an auditorium. How can we be assured the new Northwood will have performing arts facilities completed by 2027?

+10000 - and how can we be assured of the needed high-level instruction at a school that historically hasn't thrived in this area?  And also _what about the students who are currently in grades 7 and 8?_. Where do they go?  To a holding school with no arts facilities, to a school that is about to lose its program priority, or to a school that doesn't have a program yet?[/quote]

By the time the regional programs begin, Northwood will be out of the holding school and in its brand new building.[/quote]

I remember remotely that someone from central office clarified that the auditorium for Northwood wouldn't be ready to use in another 2-3 years or so in the last week's BOE meeting? [/quote]

No, they said the whole school including the auditorium would be ready to open in 2027.[/quote]

Was that the new Northwood that would open with the auditorium, or was it just that they found enough money to re-fund the (Phase 2, then delayed to a new Phase 3, now back to Phase 2) building of the auditorium at Woodward (while Northwood students are using the base plant of Phase 1 as a holding school) so that it would be available to Woodward students when that opens?  Or will both auditoriums be ready in 2027?[/quote]

The new Northwood is scheduled to open with its auditorium in 2027.[/quote]

Northwood is losing its MC2 program, with Montgomery College instructors teaching courses at Northwood that count towards an associates degree. That's a real loss for that school. [/quote]
