[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]

Or... the information they got from the boundary study and the many ideas and feedback they got through the deliberation process led them to revise their ideas and propose a solution they thought better reflected the data and feedback they were receiving.  Some of that feedback may well have been complaints from Wootton stakeholders about the quality of their building or complaints about other aspects of the first several proposals and/or feedback from others that caused them to question the merits of choices A-G and come up with a better solution, which they labeled H.
