Talks on future of James Wood High School and county complex
Frederick County leaders plan a joint 7:30 tonight meeting to reconcile opposing paths for James Wood High School. The Board of Supervisors proposed converting James Wood into a county government complex with court facilities and building a new four year high school at Apple Pie Ridge, while the School Board favors expanding James Wood for ninth and tenth grades and keeping the Apple Pie Ridge site for a senior high. The two bodies aim for a joint decision, with the school board retaining final policy authority and the supervisors handling financing.
