Board of Ed proposes Alternatives to Superintendent Weast's Recommendations for Edison and Wheaton High Schools

On February 28, the Board discussed the superintendent’s recommendation and approved two alternatives that will be considered:

·        Alternative 1: That Edison and Wheaton be constructed as separate buildings on the site of the current shared facility, with separate identifiable structures using education specifications that are appropriate to the separate and independent missions of the two schools.

·        Alternative 2: That a single facility be constructed so as to have a portion meet the educational specifications for Wheaton and a portion meet the educational specifications for Edison, with shared facilities as appropriate, but that the two schools have separate and identifiable spaces and entrances.

The Board of Education will hold its public hearing on Tuesday, March 15, 2011, at 7 p.m., in the auditorium at the Carver Educational Services Center (CESC), 850 Hungerford Drive, Rockville, MD. 20850.
