[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed.  There was no renovation involved.  It was purely a demolition.  In Whitman's case it was caused by inferior building materials and Richard Montgomery because the school was way too old.

So Churchill was the first where students stayed in the building during renovation.  I remember that the nurses office complained to the Health Department because of the number of students who were reporting sick because they couldn't breathe because of the dust.  [/quote]

Fine.  How about WJ?  Total reno while the students remained in the building.[/quote]

You don't seem to get it.  There was NO holding school when WJ was renovated.  When Churchill was renovated there WAS a holding school and the Churchill parents said, Hell NO, we can remove you from office if you don't obey us".[/quote]

Not a Churchill parent but wow, you seem really bitter.  Who cares if there is a holding school or not - it is clearly more disruptive to bus 2100 kids a distance away, or worse have new drivers driving 20 miles a day to school.  If there was a viable option to keep them in the school wouldn't that make more sense regardless or what their parents allegedly threatened (which sounds a little farfetched - they really said the BOE had to "obey" them?).

I can help out here.  What many people are missing is that during any high school renovation students went to the holding school (Northwood).  When it was Churchill's time the parents did indeed refuse to allow their darlings leave the neighborhood.  Look up the stories in the Gazette and Post archives.[/quote]
