Where have you received this information that Woodward will open in 2025?

Because Northwood is scheduled to occupy the building for 2 years, beginning in Fall 2023. Assuming Northwood's new building is ready for them to move back in 2025, that is the earliest that Woodward could reopen as a high school.[/quote]

Woodward is slated for a full rev/ex as well. So if Northwood moves back in 2025, then it will be another two years or so before Woodward can open. I wonder how many portables they will cram in at WJ....[/quote]

They are doing the rev/ex first, 2020-2023, then Northwood 2023-2025 and Woodward opens Fall 2025.[/quote]

Was there community input on Northwood using Woodward for two years? I'm surprised because I went to a meeting a few years ago about the reopening of Woodward and MCPS told us to expect an early 2020s opening, but nothing about another high school occupation. As the parent of a child who will go to overcrowded Walter Johnson, I'm not happy that the use of Woodward for our cluster has been pushed back without any kind of heads-up.

The decision isn't quite final yet. The BOE will vote on the resolution Monday. But yes, this idea has been talked about at several meetings over the past five months.[/quote]

PP is probably referring to community input from WJ cluster. I am curious about that too.[/quote]
