[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting rid of the Wootton name, and getting rid of a top performing school is what the BOE and Mont County Gov would call "equity".  The Wootton parents can just pay for private schools if they don't like it.  if you are a Wootton parent, perhaps you should consider this when voting BOE and county positions.[/quote]

I can’t afford private schools for my kids. I need to save for their college tuition [/quote]

The only people I know in the Wootton cluster who would be able to pay for private are the ones that only have one kid. We also can’t afford it. A lot of people on this thread think Wootton parents are very rich apparently. [/quote]

You are saying you are rich and being exclusive because of your expensive houses.  You are very rich.  You just are house poor or not managing your money well.  [/quote]

Weird comment. You realize that a lot of houses in Wootton are not more expensive than in the adjacent clusters. My neighborhood was built in the 70s and we have 2000 sq ft. The house has an awful floor plan and tiny dark rooms. We could have spent the same for a much nicer house a mile to two down the road outside the boundary but we wanted Wootton. We aren’t rich. We could never have afforded private schools. We have never had fancy cars. My kids have never taken fancy vacations. There’s no big college nest egg. Lots of families are like ours.

Do I want to stay in Wootton? Of course. Do I know school boundaries can change? Of course. Stop stereotyping please. [/quote]
