[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the March 25, 2019 memo from Jack Smith to the BOE, it says:

[i]WHEREAS, Completing an initial phase of construction at Charles W. Woodward High School will
provide an appropriate educational space for accommodating the comprehensive high school program
needs of Northwood High School[/i]

It's very clear from reading this memo that they were choosing the least worst option, not pitching this as some brilliant solution.[/quote]

Back to recollection, the community concerns about "least worst" holding school for Northwood at that time largely were:

It's far.  Isn't there something nearer?  (From the Northwood community)

Wait.  Our new school won't be brand new for us?  (From the WJ community)

From the perspective of this more concrete reference, the idea that the facility wouldn't have an auditorium wasn't in play at all at that point, as it was seen as providing for Northwood's [i]comprehensive[/i] program needs.[/quote]
