[quote=Anonymous]I feel badly for those impacted but the Wootton community could have also done better.  First, while not everyone did, I believe that a significant portion of the Wootton community actually voted for this BOE.  There was a concerted effort by a couple groups to get this group elected and I believe many in the community voted for that financially backed sample ballot.  We now have what was voted in. Secondly, as has been pointed out by the busy trolls, most of the major stories to come out of Wootton recently have been negative.  We all know what they are.  Some of these stories were emphasized in the media due to Wootton community outrage.  There was little concerted effort to get positive information out to counter those stories. Third this is not the first time that Wootton has been threatened with redistricting/closure.. It has survived the first 2-3 but perhaps not this one.  Problem was the survival the first couple of times just postponed the issue.  The people involved at the time were ok, because their kids graduated .  however, they passed the issue down to the next generation.  The issues were never resolved.  What should they have done?   See issue #1, pay attention to BOE and related elections. Lastly, outside of community control is the name thing.  Forgetting whether or not any BOE advocated for the name change or not, there will not be any new building built with the Wootton named etched into it.  The best that could be hoped for is small renovations in the existing building.  A new building means the Wootton name will be retired.  The same is true for all schools on the naughty name list.  They will only keep their names if their building remains.  Any tear down will also result in a name change.[/quote]
