[quote=Anonymous][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]

Some of Wootton doesn't want Crown. Some of Wootton wants out of the unsafe Wootton building and is happy with Crown. [/quote]

Problem is, we don't really know how the split breaks. Doing so would require a survey, and who has time for that? Survey of Wootton parents' appetite for being relocated should've been done when the Boundary Study was happening all of last year. But oh well, MCPS blew that and instead suprised parents and got to find out in a chaotic, real-time manner, the response to their unanticipated proposal.[/quote]

MCPS likely planned on transplanting Wootton kids to Crown when it broke ground. This was an idea considered formally by MCPS in November 2024. Why did MCPS wait over a year to tell Wootton that it was on the chopping block?  The reason is that MCPS didn’t want to give enough time for community advocacy to mobilize - it didn’t want to go through the whole Woodward mess again. [/quote]

It's worse than waiting to tell Wootton, they spent millions of taxpayer dollars on a bait and switch "Boundary Study" that they immediately discarded with this B.S. "Option H" in the eleventh hour. This has such a stench of corruption.[/quote]

see above re: timeline. Same amount of time was given after H (and E-G for that matter) before the next "unveiling"--in this case the Sup's rec as had been given to other options. It just happened to be the last round (I get that the 11th hour feel comes from this) so it feels worse but is not actually, less time. in hindsight I am sure he wishes that he had unveiled this as not the last set of options just to get away from this "11th hour" narrative.
