[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to the meeting- it was full of Fallsmead and local residents that don't even have kids in school and said during the breakout sessions they were worried about their property values. I totally understand no one wants a hole in the ground where Wootton was should the school move. But I also think some of the other schools who like (or at least are neutral) about option H are getting drowned out. [/quote]

I don’t think you went to the meeting at all based on your description. not a single person was for H and every single neighborhood in the cluster was represented. And I didn’t hear a single person mention property values. But it was clear that the majority is against H, including the students. [/quote]

You don't have to believe me. What I am saying is that there is not a clear consensus. When they did roll call and tables upon tables of Fallsmead parents screamed and other schools had just a few people raising their hands, it shows it was not attended evenly. Obviously Fallsmead has more at stake with location so this makes sense. Just because your table didn't talk property value doesn't mean it didn't happen elsewhere. I am telling you there are many people that have a real concern about building safety and just want kids out of the building ASAP. They want H because they don't trust MCPS to make the building safe any other way. You can ignore that if it makes you more comfortable. They may not have been there in large numbers last night but I guarantee they are filling out the surveys. [/quote]
