Option H is permanent and the old Wootton HS campus will be closed for good?

This is simply a lie. it doesn’t take 10 minutes when it’s not rush hour. There is no way you did it in 10 at this time unless you were breaking the law in every possible way.

Mapquest at 5:43 said 11 minutes,

I live walkable to Wootton-I just did waze and it says 18 minutes. hmmm.

And bussing is not driving your own car. It has many stops and detours to pick up the neighborhood kids which adds more time. We’re less than 10 min driving distance from our school but the bus comes at 45 min before school start time to pick up.

Oh I agree with you 100%. My response was for the pp who is saying she got to Crown in 10 minutes from Wootton by car during this time which is…impossible. That’s the only point I was trying to make. I am absolutely aware that it will take a considerably longer time when the kids are on the bus. It’s absurd that
H is even an option.

If kids who can normally walk to school now have to wake up 30–45 minutes earlier to catch a bus, that’s a significant burden especially since high schoolers already start their days so early.

So, everyone should be a 5-10 minute walk from high school because riding a bus is an unreasonable burden?

Not everyone, but for the current walkers it is additional burden

It's not really a "burden" if it's normal for other kids. This is just another example of Wootton parents believing they deserve special treatment.

I don't think they are hiding at all. They are just openly trying to take Wootton down. The cheerleaders on this thread, don't really matter, but the BOE and the other local elected local officials do matter. And a large majority of the Wootton cluster is opposed to H, but most did nothing about it when they were voting over the past decade. So here we are.

They didn’t know Crown was going to be built with even the possibility that Wootton would be closed and their kids moved there. Had this been known at the time, anyone on the BOE living in the Wootton cluster would have been pressured to publicly oppose it.

This type of school closure hasn’t happened in a very long time, and most certainly wasn’t pushed through at warp speed.

The trolls here are very unreasonable anyway. No other schools have walkers converted to bussers, let alone all walkers of the school . Yet they claim Wootton wants special treatment. We’re getting “special treatment”, as only our school gets closed.

Ok? And all the other kids in MCPS that have 20-30 minute bus rides?

Well we certainly don't have the ability to pressure anyone now who lives in the Wootton cluster because none of them do. I do believe Churchill has representation . Can we get help there?

With what? Is the Wootton neighborhood going to volunteer extra taxes to pay for a school we don't need?

You act like riding a bus is some horrible offense, completely oblivious to all the kids who currently do it.

You act like it’s no big deal to change Walker zone to bus zone. People specifically want to be walkers. If they’re ok with bussing they would not have to buy at walk zone. Do this to any other school and see how they react.

From ChatGPT,

It’s unlikely that Option H will be adopted exactly as proposed, given the strong community opposition and MCPS’s typical responsiveness to feedback. A compromise that incorporates some elements of Option H or an entirely different alternative designed to address capacity without relocating Wootton is far more probable.

Wootton families overwhelming don’t want Option H. MCPS doesn’t care and its cheerleaders on this thread don’t either. They hide behind illusory savings and best interests of MCPS - but there are no hard numbers to back any of this up. MCPS is simply trying to run out the clock.

It jumped the shark ages ago. Nothing new to speak of in 100 pages.
