Do you not understand anything? Start with your local leaders. Also contact state delegates. Geez are you a Wootton parent? That's so embarrassing. |

| Add Andrew Friedson to this list. He is starving the MCPS capital budget, first by giving tax breaks to developers so we have had to borrow more to build new schools when new housing is built and second by refusing to increase the county’s borrowing for capital projects. He has said nice things but he has made it impossible to fund repairs to the building. |

What exactly do you want them to do? Unless this country, broadly, takes a stand about guns, everything else is really window dressing. As with most school shootings, the perpetrator in this case was also a student. You can put all the security systems in place you want, if a student is determined to take action, they're going to know the blindspots -- they're there every day.
We need schools to focus on their culture and climate, reduce class sizes so teachers can actually get to know their students, and we need gun control. |

+1. He is on the Montgomery County Council, not City of Rockville council. |

And therefore he has much more control over the fate of Wootton. Glass voted with Friedson on all this but Friedson was the leader. Among the executive candidates, only Jawando has consistently recognized that we need to raise money to fund school construction. |

| Is this regrading the shooting or move to Crown? |

What do you think? You had time to get in your input for boundary studies. Did you? |
