It's kind of fun to watch the Wootton folks spiral. Their lawyers must be telling them they don't have a case. I'm sure they'll be happy to take their money, though.

Lol it’s kind of fun reading all of this knowing yall have zero idea of what’s actually going on.
We sure are going to have fun seeing MCPS in court!

Not as much fun as your lawyers will have cashing your checks!

Although, hopefully the retainer was substantial. I hear everyone zoned for Wootton is going to be forced to file for bankruptcy with their property values cratering and all.

That just means your property taxes will have to go way up to make up for the lost revenue for the County.

It's a heavy lift, given that COMAR gives great leeway to the local board.

From a previous appeal: "This appeal involves a redistricting decision of a local board of education. Decisions of a local board involving a local policy or controversy or dispute regarding the rules and regulations of the local board shall be considered prima facie correct. The State Board may not substitute its judgement for that of the local board unless the decision is arbitrary, unreasonable, or illegal" (COMAR 13.A.01.05.05A)

A standard they cannot meet.
- Signed,
An education lawyer

Just because you don't like the decision does not make it arbitrary, unreasonable, or illegal. Wootton parents need to stop. The total waste of resources.

They're just wasting their own resources right now, and they may never advance beyond that point.

I have been active on this thread, generally in support of the adopted proposal and opposing the filing of any lawsuit.

That being said, I'm also a lawyer and this view is flawed. They retained the firm under two weeks ago. That firm needs time to review materials, get up to speed on procedure and precedent, and draft a filing. This is all normal. I'd give it two more weeks before gloating that the lawsuit hasn't appeared.

(And don't get me started on the posters pestering to file before a decision was even made.)

Anyone willing to share the retainer for this firm? Curious how much money is already in ashes.

The posters are all from the MCPS PR office. They use this forum daily to bully the parents they haven’t already bullied in person.

Thanks Chris Cram, you can get back to work now, cowering before TT.

Are you filing today? Why not be transparent about how much money was donated and spent?

It’s probably lining the pockets of those who collected it.
