That would actually be funny. Considering Dufief is the only community supporting the super’s recommendation, it would be rather hilarious if Wootton gets sent to Crown, then everyone goes except for Dufief which is closed and sent to QO.

The currently proposed ES boundary study would not be changing any HS boundaries.

There is definitely a possibility of Dufief being moved to QO to adjust boundaries at Rosemont so more Gaithersburg kids can go to Crown.

To the people saying no MCPS won’t do that because they said they won’t change HS during ES boundaries…yall are either stupid or naive or both. Are you really trusting the same MCPS who flip flops non stop?

Remember when they said the intent of Crown boundary study was to alleviate overcrowding at QO, Gaithersburg, RM? Then they passed a whole resolution on 10/30, expanding the boundary scope and I’m quoting here:

Resolved, That additional boundary options be developed for the Crown/Damascus study area
reflecting the option to use of Crown High School as a temporary holding center, with the understanding that it will not be considered for use as a holding center unless aligned with State funding requirements; and be it further

Resolved, That there be no other changes to the high schools and middle schools included in the existing scope;

MCPS own boundary scope never even contemplates using Wootton as a holding school, yet that’s still what they end up recommending.

So you can sit there and pretend that Dufief ending up at QO is not an option all you want but we all know MCPS won’t keep its word.

If Dufief closes it would end up most likely at Stone Mill or Travilah. Both of which feed to Wootton. You’re right though- at some point they will likely end up doing another broader boundary study and Dufief could end up at QO. Not going to worry about that today and honestly it would still make more sense to send Dufief there than what they were doing in options a-d.

I would 100% prefer taking rosemont kids over Dufief simply because Dufief have shown to be backstabbing hypocrites. So 😂 at the Dufief poster telling me I’m a racist elitist.

I hope Dufief ends up at QO. As “realists” that Dufief folks claim they are, they do realize many in the Dufief neighborhood live less than 2 miles from QO, making them walkers to QO. This makes the most practical sense.

Sooner or later, there will be more growth in the area (Grove) and Dufief will be pushed out. But, again, I’m sure they’ll be totally rational about it. They are realists after all.

Yes we realize the distance from QO. Thank you. I hope you don’t totally spiral after the final vote. You clearly need help.

I’m a proponent of Wootton staying on Wootton pkway. I’m an alum and so are my kids. It’s been part of the community for over 50 years. But I’m resigned to the fact the plan will be approved as Taylor proposed and all the drama isn’t going to change the BOE’s mind. All that’s happening now is we are dividing the community and pitting communities against one another.

Agreed. Maybe MCPS will start growing again and they will need Wootton to reopen in its original location. Time will tell.

Which is the funniest thing because this either doesn’t happen as some of the other posters alluded to OR it does happen and Wootton reopens without Dufief.

Either way, 👋 Dufief.

Dufief hate explanation: they are hypocritical. If they truly think the Wootton building is unsafe, they should’ve been happen with option D during the initial round. But no, they was pissed as hell and wanted the entire cluster to get behind them so that they can still at Wootton. But when H came out, all of a sudden, its we absolutely need to leave Wootton.

Let’s just be transparent. It was never about safety, but forcing everyone else in the cluster to move with you when literally more than 90% of the entire cluster is against it.

If end up at Crown, I hope Dufief is closed. In fact, I can promise, there will be people pushing for this. You want Wootton closed? Great, do Dufief next.

Karma!

They aren't hypocrites, they are realists. There is no money. A renovation of Wootton just isn't going to happen. Dufief understands this and the Wootton walkers can't accept it. Dufief wanted to stay with Wootton. Option H happened. Stay with Wootton AND get a safe school? Awesome!

It's also not just Dufief. 100's of community members from Stone Mill and Travilah also signed onto a letter saying they support H.

Sorry this is so difficult for you to understand!

Except it’s not stay with Wootton. It’s sacrificing Cold Spring now, and Fallsmead followed by Lakewood.

Dufief and the other signers please go to Crown and leave the rest of us alone.

Anyways back to the topic thread: hope they close Dufief. I sure will be campaigning for it. After all, I was told to be a realist right? MCPS simply doesn’t have money for one do the lowest utilized schools in the county. Bye Dufief! And when this happens, I will laugh my ass off if any of you Dufiefers cry about losing your neighborhood school. Remember, just be a realist!

Cold Spring asked to go to Churchill. I’m sure they will be fine.

And yeah, it would be sad if they closed Dufief but I’d understand. Interesting reaction from you though. You seem like a pretty terrible person to take such pleasure in what you think hurts others.

Why would moving Dufief to QO hurt them? They should be happy to be at a more diverse school. Does the Dufief poster who calls everyone not supporting the recommendation elitist & racist want to weigh in here?

LOL at new QO being diverse…have you even looked at it? 🤣

Cool, so when Dufief is called and yall get redistricted to QO one day, I’m sure you’ll won’t say a single negative word.

Not spiraling, but lawyering up!

More socioeconomic and racial diversity than Crown/Wootton, so Dufief should be happier

Dufief mom here: Two things can be true. We wanted BOTH to 1) get out of the moldy building for physical health reasons AND 2) stay with our friends for social/mental health reasons. Just like the Parkway People want BOTH to 1) stay on the Parkway 2) have it spruced up--even minimally--as they have (rightfully) been asking for for the last 15 years.

I think the difference between Dufief and the Parkway People is that we have realized we actually can't have it all and worked to figure out what is most likely and throw our support at that recognizing the limits of our power.

Actually no, they can’t be. Safety trumps all. Nothing comes above my children’s safety.

If you genuinely think the building is unsafe, you would’ve been all too happy with option D instead crying about having to go alone.

The fact that Dufief is not ok with D but ok with H proves that it was never about safety.

Yup! The underlying motivation is “We don’t want to be the only white and Asian kids at the black and brown school!!” 😭😭😭 Please let our “vewy special fwends” come with us so we won’t be new, alllll alone. 😱😱

They aren't hypocrites, they are realists. There is no money. A renovation of Wootton just isn't going to happen. Dufief understands this and the Wootton walkers can't accept it. Dufief wanted to stay with Wootton. Option H happened. Stay with Wootton AND get a safe school? Awesome!

Sorry this is so difficult for you to understand!

When MCPS ultimately screws over Dufief and closes the school, I’m going to quote this “They are realists. There is no money. Dufief understands this.”

Your threats only fuel us and show your true colors. You’re doing what we have always known, you would do anything to get your way including writing any one of us who isn’t on the Parkway out.

Good thing your opinion doesn’t matter otherwise Wootton would’ve stayed on the Parkway and be rebuilt.

Same for you: you would do anything to get your way of sacrificing the will and wishes of more than 90% of the cluster who want Wootton to stay at Wootton all so that you can avoid going to crown by yourself.

Dufief is the truly elitist and racist ones here. This was never about safety. This was about Dufief knowing from the very beginning they were the most susceptible to redistricting as they are the edge property to Wootton and wanting to drag anyone and everyone with them.

Good thing your opinion also won’t matter to MCPS because MCPS will ultimately do whatever it wants. Dufief will be closed and redistricted sooner or later, and don’t expect anyone from the cluster to advocate for you. Not Stone Mill or Travilah will come to your aid either.

Yup! The underlying motivation is “We don’t want to be the only white and Asian kids at the black and brown school!!” 😭😭😭 Please let our “vewy special fwends” come with us so we won’t be new, alllll alone. 😱😱

I’m a proponent of Wootton staying on Wootton pkway. I’m an alum and so are my kids. It’s been part of the community for over 50 years. But I’m resigned to the fact the plan will be approved as Taylor proposed and all the drama isn’t going to change the BOE’s mind. All that’s happening now is we are dividing the community and pitting communities against one another.

Agreed. Maybe MCPS will start growing again and they will need Wootton to reopen in its original location. Time will tell.

Which is the funniest thing because this either doesn’t happen as some of the other posters alluded to OR it does happen and Wootton reopens without Dufief.

Either way, 👋 Dufief.

Dufief hate explanation: they are hypocritical. If they truly think the Wootton building is unsafe, they should’ve been happen with option D during the initial round. But no, they was pissed as hell and wanted the entire cluster to get behind them so that they can still at Wootton. But when H came out, all of a sudden, its we absolutely need to leave Wootton.

Let’s just be transparent. It was never about safety, but forcing everyone else in the cluster to move with you when literally more than 90% of the entire cluster is against it.

If end up at Crown, I hope Dufief is closed. In fact, I can promise, there will be people pushing for this. You want Wootton closed? Great, do Dufief next.

Karma!

They aren't hypocrites, they are realists. There is no money. A renovation of Wootton just isn't going to happen. Dufief understands this and the Wootton walkers can't accept it. Dufief wanted to stay with Wootton. Option H happened. Stay with Wootton AND get a safe school? Awesome!

It's also not just Dufief. 100's of community members from Stone Mill and Travilah also signed onto a letter saying they support H.

Sorry this is so difficult for you to understand!

When MCPS ultimately screws over Dufief and closes the school, I’m going to quote this “They are realists. There is no money. Dufief understands this.”

✌️

Your threats only fuel us and show your true colors. You’re doing what we have always known, you would do anything to get your way including writing any one of us who isn’t on the Parkway out.

Good thing your opinion doesn’t matter otherwise Wootton would’ve stayed on the Parkway and be rebuilt.

Same for you: you would do anything to get your way of sacrificing the will and wishes of more than 90% of the cluster who want Wootton to stay at Wootton all so that you can avoid going to crown by yourself.

Dufief is the truly elitist and racist ones here. This was never about safety. This was about Dufief knowing from the very beginning they were the most susceptible to redistricting as they are the edge property to Wootton and wanting to drag anyone and everyone with them.

Good thing your opinion also won’t matter to MCPS because MCPS will ultimately do whatever it wants. Dufief will be closed and redistricted sooner or later, and don’t expect anyone from the cluster to advocate for you. Not Stone Mill or Travilah will come to your aid either.

90% of the cluster?? What’s it like living in a bubble?? Or living in your echo chamber? Wake up babe, it’s the majority of the county that supports H.

Dufief mom here: Two things can be true. We wanted BOTH to 1) get out of the moldy building for physical health reasons AND 2) stay with our friends for social/mental health reasons. Just like the Parkway People want BOTH to 1) stay on the Parkway 2) have it spruced up--even minimally--as they have (rightfully) been asking for for the last 15 years.

I think the difference between Dufief and the Parkway People is that we have realized we actually can't have it all and worked to figure out what is most likely and throw our support at that recognizing the limits of our power.

Actually no, they can’t be. Safety trumps all. Nothing comes above my children’s safety.

😂 when Dufief kept going keep us with Stone Mill and Travilah, meanwhile literally countless Stone Mill and Travilah parents saying we don’t claim you and keep our names out of your mouth.

Travilah’d own survey shows over 80% oppose H. Similarly, an overwhelming majority of Stone Mill also oppose H. Then when you go to the rest of the cluster, it becomes nearly 100% opposed.

This is why we hate you Dufief. You sold out the rest of the cluster.

O really? Is that why according to MCPS own publication, H was actually the least liked option in their own survey? 😂 Cool story. Nice of you to literally not even check basic facts.

Don’t care what you think of Dufief. Good thing hundreds of SM and Travilah also support us. It’s on record and the board has it.
