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

This thread is insane because people who don’t go to W schools love any opportunity to hate on W schools. Don’t yell at me for saying the truth.

Oh honey, we don’t hate the w schools. We are disappointed that your schools get so many more classes and clubs but for those of us who went to them, we know it’s nothing special and don’t want our kids in that environment.

So why are you posting here? You actually don’t like W schools as proven by what you posted in bold above. In fact, you sound jealous.

Is this all you can say as you have nothing helpful or any good suggestions. Not jealous at all.

Crown was a gift so had to be built. IT only makes sense to use it and change the usage of Wootton until the time comes that the enrollment justifies another high school.

No, it did not have to be built. I love how everyone thinks they know facts when they don’t. Go look up the deed. It says it can also be used as a public park. If a school truly isn’t needed, why waste millions build it. It could’ve been a great park for community use.

Exactly. This is a stupid mistake that MCPS traps itself in. MCPS could have returned this gift back to Gaithersburg city without any cost.

No, the City of Gaithersburg wanted a new high school. Just like they made MCPS pay for an artificial turf field at their new elementary school and then took over the field for their own use. The City of Gaithersburg wants bling.

Wonderful. Give it to Gaithersburg. Leave Rockville and Potomac alone.

This is only an issue because Wootton families are saying it’s unsafe. Take responsibility for your actions.

1. Not all Wootton families are saying this. Most aren’t.
2. Also even if it was unsafe, who is responsible for the building’s condition? Parents or Mcps? Stop the gaslighting. You probably blame victims of violence. If only you didn’t piss off your abuser, you wouldn’t have been abused
3. Assuming it is unsafe, you do realize H would use Wootton as a holding schools for other kids right…
4. So why is Wootton unsafe such that all Wootton kids have to leave and go to Crown yet safe enough for Damascus and Magruder
5. Wait before you even say it—well we would renovate Wootton before it used for other kids—so this means the renovation money does exist AND H isn’t cheaper. Not to mention again…crown is literally more accessible for any high school that needs a holding school.

You should about as inept as MCPS lawyers. Maybe you should apply for a legal position with MCPS. They’ll need more lawyers anyways for the absolute onslaught of lawsuits coming their way if they are dumb enough to pick H.

Your advocates are saying its unsafe. Talk to them.

Many schools have the same issues. Why do you think your school should be first in line?

You need a holding school to make the repairs or kids have to be shuffled to other schools.

You cannot renovate these buildings. Once mold is there it has to be torn down to the studs and replaced.

My friend, surely you see the issue with your flawless logic.
Damascus and Magruder need a holding school, along with many other schools in the county.
You just said Wootton can’t be renovated (your claim not mine).
So why use Wootton as a holding school? Why not use Crown?

Either Wootton is not unsafe and thus shouldn’t be forcibly evicted out, so no H

Or Wootton is unsafe and thus by your own logic cannot be used as a holding school due to mold that requires to be torn down. If that’s the case, also no H unless you think its ok for Damascus and Magruder kids and others to breath in mold??

So which one is it? Is Wootton safe or not safe? Never mind doesn’t matter, either way answer supports no H.

I don’t think any of the mold schools are safe and all need replacement. Those aren’t the only ones, just the ones that scream the loudest. You realize how hard it is to remediate mold once it’s in the walls.

Ok, you are right. Wootton needs a replacement. So no H.
Don't put Damascus and Magruder kids there or ANYONE else.
Thanks for proving my point.

How do you propose that happens without a holding school and money?

I thought the truth was that 40 staff members left Wootton last year. Some changes are needed.

Don’t defect.
Also if you really want to know the truth, you know why? I’ve spoken with several staff who have left.
They told me the new principal is terrible. Made them all teach new subjects—there was public argument in front of kids because the principal tried to make the biology teacher who has been teaching biology for DECADES to switch to physics for no reason but his demented philosophy of changing things up. Things were so bad the teacher union had to intervene on behalf of teachers.
O and who installed this wonderful principal. Dr. Taylor 👌👌👌

So let me get this straight: Wootton parents are responsible for the terrible building condition. And we’re also responsible for this joke of a principal who is forcing teachers out?

Do you realize how stupid you sound? Dont talk about things you know nothing about.

The truth is Wootton kids remain stars and crush it despite a terrible building and a terrible principal, neglect from BOE and hatred from the community.

Fine we’ll continue to thrive despite this. We will thrive ON WOOTTON PARKWAY

You sound like a real winner.

The PP is and hit upon a simple truth. Wootton kids have succeeded in spite of MCPS, not because of it. They are the real winners here and you can’t handle it. Shame on you for attacking children….

They aren’t deflecting but you are claiming we are jealous. Those are some serious issues are posting about that are very concerning on top of the other stuff that’s happened in the past five years. You all should be focusing on that instead of

You are so dramatic. Most of our kids go to schools in bad facilities and are far more neglected. You don’t even have a clue.

Yet, based on MCPS’s own data-Wootton is in the second worst condition of the high schools in the county. Even though you all keep saying there are SO MANY schools in worse condition than Wootton it just simply isn’t true-there is only one.

Good to know Wootton needs remediation and eventually renovation. MCPS needs to fix its own mistake in building Crown by using it as a holding school.

Oh wait, maybe MCPS is being the elitist here by only wanting Wootton to fill up most of Crown. It doesn’t want the kids from Damascus and Magruder dirtying its shiny new building.

Good point. That tracks with statements Taylor has made to other communities. It also tracks with how he views his place in the county.

It’s true. I’m sure Taylor saw Crown as MCPS’ “crown jewel” because he isn’t getting any more money to build anything close to it ever again. The thought of using it as a holding school for Damascus and Magritte is abhorrent to him. Holding schools are supposed to be old, worn out facilities that are the least attractive buildings in the entire county. Folks are supposed to pretend they don’t exist.

How do you propose that happens without a holding school and money?

My brother in Christ, we have been through this. Keep up.
Crown is the holding school. JFC.

"H is by no means the most financial sense. H makes Wootton a holding school, which is less accessible than Crown. Estimates show that to repair/make Wootton Parkway to accommodate that many bussed would be 70 million. Not to mention the cost of bussing everyone to Wootton, which is farther away for Damascus and Magruder and every school that needs a holding school for renovations—that’s not my claim, btw that’s literally what analysis published by Mcps shows. Then you got to bus everyone from Wootton out.

You also have to renovate Wootton for it to even be a holding school, which means either way—even under H—Wootton has to be renovated. The people who say Mcps doesn’t have money to fix the Wootton and crown simply don’t get it. Under H, money literally will be sent to fix Wootton. This a non unique cost."

God--arguing with uninformed people who formulate opinions without understanding the issue or reading previous conversations in this very own thread is so exhausting.

[Anonymous]

Any particular reason why they wouldn’t do E/F to use crown for holding and move wootton when everyone’s renovated and close? (Pseudo H).

Idk how many years out that would be.
