Subject: Edison-Wheaton Feasibility Study
Dear FAC Members,
The draft of the feasibility study for the modernization of Wheaton High School and Thomas Edison High School of Technology is now available. Due to the size of the brochure, it could not be sent via email; therefore, it is available on the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Division of Construction website and the Wheaton High School and Thomas Edison High School of Technology website. FAC members, as well as the general public, will have from July 18, 2011 to August 5, 2011 to submit comments on the feasibility study. All comments should be sent to Dennis Cross at dennis_cross@mcpsmd.org. The feasibility study for the modernization of Wheaton High School and Thomas Edison High School of Technology is scheduled as a discussion/action item at the Board of Education’s August 25, 2011 meeting.
Should you have any questions, please contact Mr. Cross at 240-314-1012. Thank you.

Anything we can do to get rid of Edison because everyone is going to college, remember?
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher in MCPS I believe the great fear is that some statistician will figure out more minorities are probably attending Edison and the county will be called on it. The parents from the "W" schools aren't using it and aren't encouraged, but then again, who is? It is a diamond in the rough and a route that would benefit both college-bound and non college-bound students but we wouldn't want to encourage anything but the "seven keys". Graphic arts, construction mgmt, etc. There are degrees in these areas and Edison would provide a leg up. This isn't our MCPS and the Edison of 25 years ago.
