You can’t hop on on Tide on 54, it doesn’t stop near Wootton .

Sure it does. The stop is well inside the walk zone. Depending on where you live, it may be closer to your house than old Wootton.

No it doesn’t stop next to Wootton. The closest stop is Darnestown and Research which is a mile away from Wootton and more than 2 miles away for kids who live next to Villages of Rockville for example. The only Wootton kids close enough to walk to the stop are those who live along Hurley.

There will be an MCPS bus to Crown for kids who live next to Villages. I'm not clear on the problem/issue.

Really? Show me where MoCo said this magical bus is going to be available.

Has MCPS put out the bus stop list for Crown already? The Villages is over 2 miles to Crown (google maps puts it at 3.4 walking) - high school students more than 2 miles to a high school get bus transportation. There will be MCPS bus transportation from that area. You are fear mongering for no reason.

I think they are talking about public bus routes for kids that play sports/do other activities before and after school.

I've seen it before in cali. And it will happen here.

So the people who paid millions (most of whom followed the rules, put in very hard work, and made tremendous sacrifices to get their life to a point where they could buy a house like that) are getting shafted. Now their housing prices and all the money they put it is wasted and the reason the did that is also wasted

What do these idiots think is going to happen next? People will sell their houses at a loss and the housing prices near Churchill will skyrocket. Parents will do whatever they can to flee to where they know their child will be safe. Churchill will face over crowding and the problem starts all over. Then the housing prices will plumet further in the current wotton area around travilah road and the area will see a degredstion.

I've seen it time and time again in dark blue states of my past.

And about magnet schools. It's a lottery. Your kid has to get a certain level in thestandardized tests. Then with the parents approval they are entered into the lottery. At least at the elementary level. If you don't have the scores and later grades, don't apply, you won't get selected. So this forced magnet diversification is not organic and it won't work.

Magnet schools across the country in big cities are mostly east and south asian for a reason. Even in the wokest states. LA area, NYC area. Always the same story.

And if you don't think there was backroom dealing and money changing hands you're an idiot. The new homes around crown are extremely expensive. And those people weren't zoned for wootton.... You guys don't think there was some backroom dealings with that community oromet changing hands in some former are incredibly naive

There are no worse bedfellows than dirty money loving corporate or big money corruption wedded to woke politics.... And that's what this is. Call me q anon or Alex Jones or whatever (none of which I am). I'm simply a former californian Who saw this BS there 20 years ago and moved to the DMV prior to this place getting woke.

No. Better area schools that didn't have gang violence or whatever before got worse and those people left for better waters. These is always an Nth order consequence you can't prepare for. These guys didn't even think about the direct consequences.

Many of my neighbors have opted to move. They said if this happens, they are moving.

I would love to be able to afford a home in the current Wootton area. Not because of the school, but because they are nice SFH that MoCo refuses to build in my DCC neighborhood thanks to Thrive 2050. How is making housing more affordable a bad thing?

It was all passed.

Huge win for WJ.

Honestly, this is true

And Quince Orchard. I know the Wootton parents are worried about MCPS decimating a "high-performing school" but this shift now leaves WJ and QO with likely huge improvements to come in rankings and Wootton with a minimal slide back.

Reduced enrollment equals less teachers. Less teachers equals less course options. Less course options equal lower levels not higher

*fewer

And I don't think you're going to convince me that QO dropping from 115% to 96% enrollment is somehow bad for educational outcomes xD

It depends on which classes your child wants to take versus what is actually offered. Expect not being able to take more than the required minimum year of PE or more than the minimum of Fine Arts/Math/Science credits unless you are enrolled in a program.

I did not realize that Asians get this hate until I heard Montoya speak yesterday. I hope someone submits a hate and bias incident to MCPS since she is an employee.

Montoya is not sufficiently knowledgeable about the experience of Chinese people in the US. And she has never reflected on her own biases to examine what she needs to personally work on.

Ok Julie

I agree. In a campaign interview with Bethesda Beat, Montoya shared that her own children attend schools in the BCC cluster, so concerns about access to strong high school offerings don’t impact her family in the same way.

I also found it troubling when she responded to either Julie Yang’s vote or the audience reaction by saying “that’s the racism” to another Board member. That kind of accusation shuts down conversation instead of moving it forward.

And if she’s going to suggest that families seeking out stronger academic opportunities are motivated by racism, then it’s fair to ask what factors drove her family to move to the BCC cluster when her kids started in another one.

If we’re going to have honest conversations about equity and access in MCPS, they need to be grounded in facts and handled professionally. Throwing around accusations like that isn’t constructive. She should apologize to the community, and voters can decide whether this is the kind of leadership they want.I certainly won't vote for her again.

High schools also have MCPS activity buses for after-school activities.

Activity busses are a joke and are useless for anyone who plays a sport. Kids can't play sports unless they are in the walk zone, have a car, have a friend with a car, or have parents who don't work and can come pick them up. That's extremely limiting to single parents or families where both parents work. That's part of the outrage over moving the school and changing a large number of kids from walkers to bussers.

I'm so confused. There are tons of spacious SFH in the DCC.

This is not true. Either kids can take activity bus or if it is so late that activity bus is gone that means it will also be late enough for most parents to be off work. The good thing about Crown is if parents can't pick kids up until later, they can hang out at the Crown shops or sit at Starbucks with friends until parents can pick up (but I'm sure you'll find something wrong with that, too).

My kids take the public bus (WMATA). I wish more HSs were convenient to either RideOn or WMATA bus lines though.

All of the walkers from the current Wootton HS will have to be bused. Where is the money for new buses, new drivers and more diesel fuel?

They can redirect the busses that currently carry the kids from Crown to Gaithersburg and Rio to Wootton?

All the boundaries have changed and the implementation isn't in another year and a half, so MCPS is going to have to change the bus routes anyway.

Check back summer of 2027 and we'll see what the bus schedules look like.

+1 PP doesn't care about other people's kids being walkers, they just care about their kid.

And more so they are upset that a bunch of people that bought nice new houses when they were zoned for Gaithersburg HS get to go to the new Wootton at Crown while they spent more on tiny old houses in Fallsmead.

These guys didn't even think about the direct consequences.

Many of my neighbors have opted to move. They said if this happens, they are moving.

I would love to be able to afford a home in the current Wootton area. Not because of the school, but because they are nice SFH that MoCo refuses to build in my DCC neighborhood thanks to Thrive 2050. How is making housing more affordable a bad thing?

So you don't care about schools and you decided to come to the MCPS forum to tell us what is a good thing and what is not a good thing.

They are saying, please sell your house like you are “threatening” to do because there will be a line of people wanting the now-affordable house. We hope the price does come crashing down as you claim will happen. And the line of people is not because of that school filled with a racist/classist group of anti-H people but because it’s a nice house that will hopefully not contain said-people.
