Is a family living here not welcome too? Or you tolerate them? https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/14425-Pebble-Hill-Ln_North-Potomac_MD_20878_M59698-18126?from=srp-list-card

Who is bragging? There has been comment after comment explaining that Wootton parents (including myself) are in no way rich and simply stretched to be able to provide our children with a great school experience. That being said-we absolutely could not have afforded a house that would have worked for our family in The Whitman cluster. The rich aren’t buying in Wootton. We simply don’t want our school moved and changed-and it will be changed. It’s funny because if you were to give this option to Most any other school they would also oppose-but for some reason Wootton parents are being attacked for this ridiculous option that came out of nowhere. The only people who want it are the people that will directly benefit from their property value increase-that’s it.

Then wait your turn for repairs. It’s kinda sad financially you are so stretched. That’s a bad lifestyle decision. You asked for a solution immediately and were given a good option. If that’s a no, then you wait like everyone else and stop the drama of being first in line when other schools need it more.

How do you plan to pay for college and grad school?

Personally, I wasn’t one of the ones asking for a solution immediately and i’m annoyed it came to this.

And it’s not “sad” to make financial decisions that are best for our children.

At least the new options that kept Wootton together (whether there or at Crown. All of the new options closed SSIMS, with similar consideration, and dispersed its community among three other facilities.

It's kind of sick that, among all of the options, it is the wealthiest areas that tend to be least affected, an artifice born not only of decades of intransigence in remediating overcrowding with boundary changes, but also of unnecessary constraint on the current boundary studies, keeping those wealthy communities in relatively intractable corners instead of allowing for a whole-of-system solution (e.g., allowing shifts west better to fill Poolesville, with cascade to Wootton, Churchill, Whitman, BCC, etc.).

RM is not that wealthy but gets unaffected. Wootton is getting affected someway in most options as Wootton is the poorest W school

The issue noted does not concern one school, alone. Look at the maps to see whether the impacts are disproportionately low among wealthy areas (and disproportionately large among less wealthy areas). The map tools for each study, where one can turn off all layers but the existing HS zones and any one option's HS zones, rotating through the options, show this. In addition to the generally lower disruption, they particularly show that, when there are such areas affected, they most often shift among the wealthier/higher performing schools rather than between those and the less wealthy areas. This may be more obvious with the Woodward/Northwood study.

Look where the BOE, county council and other elected officials live. Look at the biggest school donors. It’s sad that there are such disparities and in theory this was to fix it and will create bigger divide and with the staffing reductions hurt some schools even more.

The implication is that the options are designed to specifically and personally benefit BOE members and county council members? Can you give two examples of that?

It won't matter in the end this will be the end of a great HS.

Putting Damascus kids there is absurd. The distance is too far.

Wow, so eloquently stated. Why is it dumb?

Putting Wootton kids at Crown is just smart, and a good use of taxpayer dollars. There are 22 schools in the CIP, and only one with a brand new school being built a couple of miles away.

You have made this exact same comment like 4 times in this forum on different threads. I know you think it makes you sound smart but it doesn’t. This was an MCPS mistake that they want Wootton to absorb.

I keep posting this because you keep posting that you don't want to move to Crown, and that it's "dumb" to move them. You keep ignoring the current state of MoCo and MCPS as a whole.

So the strategy is to keep coercing Wootton to move to Crown? It seems that nagging and threats work the best

Wootton as a whole don't have to move to crown but some Wootton feeders have to go. Same with QO, Gaithersburg, and RM. It's not realistic to think that Wootton would have no changes when they are right down the street from Crown.

No one in RM has to go in any options

Wootton is not right down the street from Crown. But I do agree that some feeder neighborhoods are much closer to crown now than they are to Wootton (most obviously Crown island). But yes, a couple other feeder neighborhoods should logically be redistricted there, same will fallsgrove-should be sent to Crown instead of RM.

Wootton is not "down the street" from Crown.

While some neighborhoods that feed to Wootton should go to Crown because they are walkers to Crown sure. But my house to Crown when my kids walked to Wootton no absolutely no.

And Damascus to Crown is a huge stupid idea

Wootton families have yet to offer a reasonable solution. You are on the repair list and have had recent updates according to the student newspaper. What more do you want. You have a newly painted building and new bathrooms. Many of our schools haven’t been painted in years and the bathrooms are locked or not useable. Locked bathrooms especially for girls is not right. I let mine skip school monthly as I cannot imagine dealing with that.

Please let us know what area school has only locked or unusable bathrooms. This would be an emergency and needs to be on the news if this is true.

It’s been all over the news and social media for the past few years. Do you pay attention at all? Both schools my kids are at still have locked bathrooms. They will not unlock them because of safety but they will not fund the safety measures needed.

I think it’s interesting that you respond like this and still don’t say what schools. But anyway, I did look it up and you are presenting it as if they are being locked because they are in poor condition. Which, is not at all what I read. So maybe be completely transparent so that you don’t look like you are hiding the truth. I do agree that the answer is not to lock the bathrooms for the issues that I read but you didn’t present it in a truthful way.

What is your suggestion then? There are many schools as bad off and none are demanding immediate fixes except Wootton.

Wootton has had updates over the past few years per the newspaper which is more than other schools have gotten.

You’d know if you cared. There is nothing to hide but Mcps isn’t fixing the situation. Your hs kids are probably having the same issues, talk to them.

Some of the bathrooms flood, some are closed for vaping.
