Are you talking about Wootton? Majority of them do not want to move to Crown at all and they are complaining about option H.

I am and you are actually wrong. It’s not ideal but I think Wootton parents recognize this as the only option to get their kids out of a horrible building in the next decade. Almost every single Wootton parent I have talked to understands and supports this option.

I hear the opposite. None of the ones I know want to move to a much further school in a more crowded area. It would be nice to renovate Wootton, but be objective, Wootton is not much worse than the other schools, mold and all kinds of leaking problems happen everywhere.

I know Fallsmead, cold spring and Lakewood don’t love it. They are scared they’d one day be rezoned out of Wootton and also don’t want a longer commute. Have you been in Wootton lately? If it wasn’t a school it would be condemned. I am not exaggerating. These neighborhoods would prefer a renovated Wootton, yes. But the ones I talk to understand it’s more important for their kids to be safe in the end.

Of course i have been to Wootton, frequently. I have also been to Quince Orchard, Walkin Mills and RM recently for all kinds of activities. Admittedly Wootton is not comparable to RM, but come on, can you really tell the difference from QO or WM?

Please stop spread misinformation about unfounded numbers, such as “$100s of millions of dollars”. Please fact-check. Or, perhaps you know something we don’t, because saving “$100s of millions of dollars” would mean to completely cancel any renovation to the current Wootton HS.

I suppose “ You must be from the neighborhood that is creating all of these false accusations who is mad you may not get what you feel you “deserve”.” should be applied to you.

Oh, wait! You might be the ones who might vote for her because she is giving you what you feel you “deserve.”, at the cost of others. Lucky for you! Hope she won’t sell you out next time when she needs others’ vote.

Wow your tone sounds awfully familiar. Kinda like the exact person I am talking about who is spreading these lies all over social media. Yes. I am speaking in facts. Read the documents from the presentations. It’s all available online. Yes. It would save $100s of millions in option H because they will NOT be renovating Wootton. Wootton would move permanently to crown and add in some of the crown neighborhood schools to the student population.

She may be running for a position but this is the entire board, the council and the superintendent pushing for this.

Doesn’t change the fact that my kids wouldn’t have a new school, and she would gain from it.

Are the BOE members supposed to represent the entire county, or just for a district or region within the county?

What part of this frees up millions upon millions of dollars- to be used by the WHOLE county- are you having trouble with?

100% there is a difference.

So, Gaithersburg residents lost a new school, and she can win votes in her county council campaign? This is f-ed up!

I thought that both the Wootton students and the families local to Crown would go to Crown under option H, is that incorrect? Who is getting hurt by this?

[Anonymous]

Sounds like a troll for the said BOE member….

Please enlighten us which part was false. Is it the part that this BOE member is running for district 1 county council? Or the part she is pushing for option H? Or the part her district 1 schools would be unaffected under H?

Everyone can easily check the above. Right?

Also easily verifiable:
1. At the engagement meeting, it was specifically emphasized that board member wanted to include H.
2. Google or use AI to search the proposed budget or the estimated cost to renovate Wootton. Then you’ll see why saving “100s of millions” would mean to cancel the renovation and make the move permanent.

Are you dense? Option H IS a permanent move and the Wootton renovation would indeed be cancelled (not that it’s on the schedule anyway). E be F are holding school options. G is hybrid.

My point is her running has nothing to do with the board pushing option H. You are linking unrelated things to stir up drama and create a false narrative. The whole board came up with option H on their own. Not just her. It blindsided everyone who was told the options were going to be holding or hybrid. Not a full on permanent Wootton move. It makes sense economically and solves several issues at once.

[Anonymous]

Is this true? Option H is to make the PERMANENTLY relocate Wootton? What happens to the “holding school” concept?

Still dogging the questions about the facts …… fine!

Unless you are the said BOE member, neither of us knows her true motive. I say, stay with the facts and leave the speculation to the audience.

Did miss your permanent change part at first. But we are in agreement that the claimed saving would come mean a permanent relocation of Wootton.

It’s unclear whether the majority of the Wootton community actually wants to relocate, even though they all want the building to be renovated. It feels like an impossible choice: either give up the school’s legacy and history, or remain in a broken unsafe facility.

Lots of schools have these issues. Even if they replaced shot on it would be 10 year or so out so using crown makes sense.

Regardless of if they stay and get a new school or go to zcrien it’s never going to be the same but they still maintain their legacy and history and build new.

She is representing her constituents. Nothing wrong with that.

I hope people can realize this is not just about Wootton! It is also about a few thousand seats at the new school and the stability that other families have been hoping for. Please think of us too.

Please think about kids in Gaithersburg!

Don't Wootton kids live in Gaithersburg and isn't Crown in Gaithersburg? Are there other Gaithersburg kids that this hurts and if so who? Genuinely asking, I live in Silver Spring and am not very familiar with that part of the county.
