[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anytime a decision seems really strange it's useful to look at who benefits from its outcome.

Who really benefits from moving high performers into the new high school? The Wootton community is vehemently against it, so not them. There are arguments that Rosemont and Fields Road would benefit, but nobody is opposing them using the school w/o dismantling Wootton.

Developers on the other hand rake in hand over fist on properties sold that are "districted to Wootton". These sell at VERY inflated prices.

The county's EV bus contract was recently cancelled due to corruption. [/quote]

It’s not a conspiracy. It’s just how public school districts work. Their goal is to provide fair access to high quality education. They fail at that all the time, but this move lets them do that slightly better for a small number of kids. You simply haven’t made any arguments that persuade them that the “harm” being done to your kids outweighs the benefits the Rosemont and FRES will get from moving to Wootton (particularly since every harm you name - having a long bus ride, being at a middle school that isn’t right next to the high school - are things that current Wootton students already deal with without any negative consequences). They’re not acting irrationally. They just don’t share your goals. [/quote]
