[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Or the lack of locker space

Or the classrooms that can't fit 30 people. It's no where near fitting 1000 students as is. That will require additoinal buildings or turning 1 of the 3 gyms into classroom space. I can see this project balooning out of control cost wise.[/quote]

NP. I don't believe the school will open in the Fall. [/quote]

Only way school opens in the fall is if the intent is to have a magnet school.  [/quote]

You are obsessed with this idea. DS has a locker at MS that is used to store his coat, that is it. He carries his backpack with all of his school stuff every day. My understanding is that most kids do the same thing in HS. There would be way too much egg on FCPSs face to not open in the fall, which leads me to believe that the school will open in the fall. And there are a lot of people who are excited for the school to open. We are expecting it to be a different but good experience.  There is a lot of positivity around the school for the families opting in. The negativity seems to be coming from the people who don't want to move and the people who are annoyed that FCPS bought the school. [/quote]
