[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can find lots of info about the new Woodward HS plans here:

But the opening date has recently been pushed back to fall of 2026.[/quote]

So none of the students currently in the school will benefit[/quote]

And the WJ Cluster Coordinators were communicating information about this going back 8-10 years.  They are long gone with kids out of MCPS. Those with younger kids weren't interested/didn't care/were to busy and dropped the ball.

You have to keep constant pressure on MCPS, the BOE, the Planning Board and the County Council.  Kids don't vote, so it is up to the parents.  When they don't keep the pressure on, this is what happens.[/quote]

Literally, cluster representatives, who had been fighting the good fight for years for less crowding in the WJ cluster, got fed up with the process and sent kids to private school.[/quote]

What other options were there besides reopening Woodward? I believe the construction started when it did because the Woodward building was still being used as Tilden MS for several years, so if they had started sooner what would have happened with the MS kids?[/quote]
