MCPS Budget 2011-2012
As these tight budget times continue, we appreciate the funding and support the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) has received from the County Council. We recognize that it is imperative to use our resources in the most efficient and effective manner. MCPS staffing allocations are based on projected enrollment. In some cases, it may become necessary for staffing changes to occur in schools if enrollment comes in below projection and doesn't justify the staffing that was allocated. If there is a need to make an adjustment in staffing based on actual enrollment, we will do our best to minimize the impact of these necessary adjustments. We will keep you informed and alert you of any changes that may occur at our school.
Feasibility Study
FIRST STEPS 2010-2011
Wood Acres is currently working with MCPS Division of Construction and the architect firm of MWB to develop 2-3 options for a possible addition to our current building. At the conclusion of the study process the architect will develop a Feasilbility Study brochure listing the options, the pros's and cons and the costs. This will be forwarded to the Board of Education for review and decisions on next steps.
If the project is recommended for planning and construction funds by the Superintendent and the Board of Education it will be reviewed by the County Executive and the County Council. The County Council must approve the funds requested by the Board of Education in order for the project to begin. A construction project involves the planning process (schematic design and design development) and the construction process may take 2-3 years depending on the scope of the project.
NEXT STEPS 2011-2012
This school year, the Board of Education will consider the information gathered at the feasibility meetings held at Wood Acres and Bannockburn this past winter. They will review the plans for potential additions and determine next steps. Information will be shared as it becomes available.
