[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since Einstein and Blair both also have music and arts academies, why can't DCCAPS allow affected Northwood students the option to transfer there for the next 2-3 years or until the auditorium is built? [/quote]

There is no space at Einstein and Blair.[/quote]

They added portables to Einstein.  They just have the schools overcrowded.  [b]There is a consortium so any kid who wants music/arts or anything else can lottery in.[/b][/quote]

Simplistic and inaccurate.

What about the kids who want music/arts who do not get a lottery spot?  What about the cost of relocating Northwood's performing arts program, presuming that would need to temporarily be at Einstein in this scenario (if there weren't facilities at Woodward)?  What about existing Einstein use of the necessary facilities?  Does that mean even greater overcrowding at those two schools than currently exists?  Do they forcibly remove some not in the performing arts at those two to make room? To where?  What about the discontinuities to student experience, teaching and administration?  Etc.[/quote]

All the DCC schools have music, theater and arts.  They may not have the same classes or teachers but they all have it.  So, they can choose any of the DCC schools to lottery into.  Einstein doesn't use the auditorium every single night, so sure they could allow Northwood to borrow it for plays and other things.  However, [b]like everything at Einstein, it's a dump[/b] and not very big or nice.  They don't practice in the auditorium.  [/quote]

Ridiculous. I've had two Einstein kids and been in the auditorium many times. It's a perfectly fine school auditorium. [/quote]
