[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like some are legitimately concerned about the process (is it closing Wootton or just moving everyone and combining them with others to form a new school - Crown), especially as we look ahead to the ES boundary study. Seems likely that will have school closures and we should all hope that will be done following the proper process.

If it weren’t for the ES boundary study coming up, I might agree that the parkway parents are just being over the top. But I think we need to sort out the process now, or MCPS could take shortcuts with ES school closures countywide.[/quote]

COMAR (Maryland Law) has specific requirements about school closures. That's both why "Save Wootton" is trying to argue that it's a "de facto closure" and why the next boundary study already has verbiage about the possibility of school closures and following the policies to do so.

Hilariously, one of the major requirements of COMAR 13.02.09.01 is that a notification needs to be placed in two newspapers 2 weeks before the public meeting.

"In addition to any regular means of notification used by a local school system, written notification of all schools that are under consideration for closing shall be advertised in at least two newspapers having general circulation in the geographic attendance area for the school or schools proposed to be closed, and the school or schools to which students will be relocating"[/quote]
