[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wootton needs to stop the drama.  Wootton families said the building is unsafe.  MCPS listened and gave them a new building.  Be grateful.[/quote]

MCPS created the drama. Wootton doesn’t want Crown. Give it to Magruder as a holding school so it can get its badly needed renovation of an even more unsafe building done ASAP. MCPS can always transplant Wootton to Crown later if that’s what enrollment projections really support. What’s the rush?[/quote]

What about the Gaithersburg families from FRES, Rosemont, and others who have been planning to go to Crown for 20 years? Do they not matter? Or should they just be part of a hybrid school forever? MCPS has to think about the entire population and equity and this situation allows for a stable and safe school for everyone for the long term. [/quote]

They should leave Wootton alone and have the families who want Crown go to crown so their kids are safe.  The few Wooton advocates don't care about Gaithersburg families.[/quote]

Y’all be talking about caring about Gaithersburg families who will be affected when Gaithersburg HS is already dropping below 100% and is not in the same zip code as crown HS. Who is in the same zip code as Crown?

- Fields Road 
- DuFief 
- Stone Mill 
- Travilah

…and then QO feeders that are way closer to QO than Crown and shouldn’t move to Crown.

But, sure, let’s not send SM, DuFief and Travilah to Crown at the expense of “Gaithersburg kids” who live in a diff zip code right next to Gaithersburg HS.

Okay. Improving the experience for kids at GHS also means filling the building in a way that will make their home school less overcrowded. Not busing them across 270 to a new school when GHS is in walking distance.

Look, you started this drama with your demands.  They don't need to fill the building.  It's fine to have it at a lower capacity.  Per you, Wootton is unsafe.  So, stop flip-flopping and be grateful for this opportunity.  [/quote]
