[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have doubts that they are going to lie to the entire inaugural population of the school.  They said the model will be interdisciplinary learning with integration of traditional subjects and special pathways and had a sample pod set up to show what they meant.  They are adapting to the space - they aren't going to gut the entire school to make a rows and rows of square classrooms, they are going to adapt the model to the facilities. I honestly saw very little that will need to be renovated.  I think they will size classes to fit the spaces.  Based on the turnout - I think they are going to have plenty of opts in and no one will be disrupted who doesn't want to be.  The only ones they may lose are the sports-centric kids.[/quote]

Then you didn't see the cafeteria(s) or library, did you? Or the gym without high school sized bleachers. [/quote]

They had the academics, transportation, and athletics people in the gym. We all saw it. They have two out building that tey can use creatively. Maybe the library goes into one of those buildings and the existing library space is used for classroom space.

I doubt that they keep all of the pods but I can see keeping some of them and using them for combined classes, like Chantilly’s English/History class. My husband pointed out that they can schedule A/B days to make use of the pods more efficiently.

They will have to do some remodeling, I am not certain why they have not started but I don’t understand the permit process or the inability of FCPS to do what they should be doing. It is frustrating. [/quote]
