Looks like Wootton becomes the new Crown HS (+ Rosemont ES?)
Crystal ball: does Wootton stay in the proposed Region 4 or become Region 5? |
| I think that's just Crown being used as a holding school for a Wootton remodel. The articulation chart still says region 4. |
| I think that’s Crown building becoming Wootton (plus Rosemont), Crown will never exist. Guessing it would stay 4, but who knows. |
| Region 4 |
| Just learned of this option. I heard it would become Wootton and add in the Crown community. But what about relieving overcrowding at other HSs? |
| Where is the official announcement that crown HS become holding school for Wootton HS? |
Wootton will become the new holding school, and the current Wootton will move permanently to Crown (plus one ES from Crown area) and change name to Crown as well. |
| This is ridiculous what they are doing to Wotton students. They will now bus them all the way to Crown, a lot of these kids live less than 2 miles from Churchill. The board is clueless and out of touch with reality. I hope impacted community advocates for these kids. |
| I wonder what the Wootton community reaction will be to this option. On one hand, this gets them a new safe school where otherwise they are waiting at least ten years. On the other hand, yes, a big change and some busing involved. Really not very far busing though so not sure it's that big of a deal. Pulling in some Crown feeders too, so maybe that helps a bit with the Crown community complaints they wouldn't get to utilize the school. Seems to make more sense than the hybrid option G. |
1) Are Wootton families wanting to be moved to Churchill? 2) Churchill is one of the only schools slated to exceed capacity so there wouldn't be room for them in any case. |
There is no official announcement, because there has been no decision. But it is a possible scenario being added to the options. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FlFkN1iSGBikRuYzg7Q36XpHb4p2qc9P/view |
But Churchill is full (with kids who live in Potomac), and Crown is empty. Given what the current Wootton students are dealing with (building falling down around them!), isn’t this a good outcome? |
Not necessarily a bad outcome until MCPS regional model decides to use their fake "iterative" process to decide that Crown stays in Region 5, taking the Wootton students with it. |
Because of the close distance between Wootton and Crown, there are several current Wootton elementary schools that are closer to Crown than Woottton including Dufief, Travilah, Stone Mill. Lakewood is about a mile further from Crown than Wootton, Fallsmead is about 3 miles further from Crown than Wootton. Cold Spring would have the largest increase in distance to the high school and even that is only 3.5 miles further to Crown than Wootton. |

I think I missed something and the rollout of these four new options.
Last time I looked it was just A through D. When did they release these newer options and what does each one reflect? ie H is moving Wootton to Crown and closing Wootton. What are E through G? |
