[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They will change a few neighborhoods on the very edges of DCC, at most.  They will draw from the bulk of DCC [b] only through the magnet program, [/b]which will do just a little to help DCC overcrowding and likely take from among the more motivated DCC students.  Ws need not be concerned -- their needs will be met, and they won't have to worry about socioeconomic mixing.

Now the boundary analysis, on the other hand...nah -- that has enough over-focused political interest to burn itself up and get buried.  No real solutions for those most in need.[/quote]

What magnet program? [/quote]

Woodward is supposed to have a magnet program when it opens.  Regional, I think, maybe arts/performing arts?  They were going to be building that out while the displaced Northwood population resided there for 2 years after completion of phase 1.[/quote]

From the plans shown during the community meeting, it just looked like they were going to have to move Northwood into the building before they could finish the athletic fields and the like. There was no mention of performing arts, but that would be great if there were one. Hopefully they will have an APEX program like WJ's, considering WJ students may be reassigned after beginning the program.

Yes, pretty much the whole two years the Northwood students will be at Woodward, it will still be an active construction site.[/quote]
