[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP - this is not to say these are great facilities. Most WM cluster schools are dumps. But they're dumps with shoddy 1990s additions/renovations, not dumps because they haven't been touched since the 1960s-80s.[/quote]

I’m the prior poster who shared all of those high school and middle schools I believe if a school says it hasn’t been modernized that could include schools that had an addition done at some point, but I believe if the entire school hasn’t been renovated or rebuilt, it will show with no modernization having been done.    For example, I believe even Wootton high school had a small edition done in the late 90s, but the rest of the school was left intact and therefore it does not show any renovation date[/quote]

This. I know Whetstone ES had a wing and gym added around 1990, but to the best of my knowledge, that's it. The vast majority of that school is the original 1968 building. Watkins Mill ES is similar. These buildings are [i]old[/i] and a small addition or minor retrofitting to convert open classrooms to traditional classrooms doesn't change the fact that, on the whole, the WM cluster feels pretty neglected.[/quote]

This is fully due to Pat O'Neill hoarding capital resources for schools in her district for at least a decade. The data shows that her district from 2005-2015 or so got 50% of CIP funding while the other BOE districts split the leftovers. Once her grip on the funds ended, the area most in need was the DCC so they got northwood and odessa shannon, and the rest of the county is falling behind. WM cluster is definitely  neglected but it's because people in that area are not squeaky wheels.[/quote]
