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

Let’s relax, grab some dinner, prepare for the snowstorm. Meet yall and your kids at Frost Hill.

Too far to walk.

(Kidding, kidding!! Too soon?)

This made me actually laugh out loud.

I agree with the other posts. Let’s not single out Dufief or anyone for that matter. This is what BOE wants. Don’t forget who is actually responsible for putting us in this situation.

Seth Adams?

Yea, they met at Wootton. They also love the Wootton parking lot, but not as much as AVG.

Would Wootton family be happy with this option?

No

No Damascus parent wants HS kids driving to Wootton in Rockville or Crown.

Not following this closely but as a Damascus parent who went to the cluster meeting at Damascus HS where Taylor spoke option H was laughed at by everyone including Taylor. He even said *they* (central office) don't like that plan and not one parent took it seriously. The debate was purely between staying on site or going to Crown as a holding school and I think the room was evenly split.

Taylor is a politician. The way he has been talking to Wootton cluster is very different. He has told Adam Van Grack that there will be a holding school. It’s between Crown vs. Wootton.

Can we stop fighting each other and fighting MCPS? Look at what these posters were saying! Apparently when talking to Damascus, Taylor says H is a joke option. When talking to Wootton, Taylor says it’s either EFGH.

It wouldn't surprise me if he was just pandering to us after the universal disdain we at Damascus had for option H. My main point is that no parent in Damascus wants H. I voted for EFG personally. The parents with kids who'd have to go to Crown are more hesitant and likely to vote for the A-D options. The faster build timeline and ability to have a better building plan swayed me. Taylor also told us that Eastern Middle School is actually the top priority project but Damascus is the top high school project. Again, this is only if you can believe a word he says...

Taylor can find money when he wants

FFS, get ready folks, tomorrow's testimony includes Wootton flexing their money muscles and overtly trying to intimidate (threaten?) the BOE with lawsuits because they may not get their way.

This gem of a parent starts with, "I’m the one sending legal notices....You’re probably tired of hearing from me. I’m definitely tired of writing them" So, just a thought: no one asked you to do that so maybe take a break?

She then says, "My role is not to advise—you have counsel for that—but to caution that we are watching closely. Here’s just a few of the many legal issues we are tracking."

First of all, yea, pretty sure that's intimidation at it's finest. But also, she acknowledges they have counsel who is advising them and unless she thinks they are literal idiots, said counsel is not allowing them to do something illegal.

Or, maybe in typical Wootton fashion, she's just the smartest of them all?

Is she even a lawyer? I'm too lazy to google but I do hope she shows up in a Judge's robe tomorrow for her testimony.

Taylor loves litigation. He lives for it. He’s currently refusing to even discuss settlement in a massive Maryland litigation.

There are a lot of parents who have been following what Taylor is doing this year. You are a clown if you think only Wootton parents can see when Policies are not being followed and Taylor is getting MCPS sued.

Be careful what you wish for. Didn’t MCPS get spanked by the Supreme Court last year? I’m quite sure that MCPS’ lawyers are going to be very careful about doing anything that even comes close to the legal line.

Also, wouldn’t a.lawsuit attract even more unwanted media attention? Closing a top school under questionable circumstances isn’t.a good look.

This doesn't look like closing a school to anyone that lives outside the Wootton zone.

Get a grip. The proposal is to move a school from a crumbling old building that you all have complained about for years to a brand new building. That’s positive coverage.

Except the new school is 2 cities over. Totally normal. It’s not moving down the street.

You are very, very wrong. MCPS’ lawyers only get paid big bucks when MCPS is sued.

Oh please. It's literally across the street from part of the Wootton cluster.
