[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crown should be a holding school while they renovate Wootton. Then it gives them time to do an elementary study. [/quote]

MCPS consistently prioritizes DEI initiatives over student safety and well-being. Instead of investing in building Crown, they should have prioritized on renovating Wootton to address serious issues like mold and asbestos.[/quote]

As soon as they finish the moves they will need to immediately move the school to a holding school. So shortsighted.[/quote]
Wootton is one school.  Over crowding exists at several schools.[/quote]

I am not talking about overcrowding, but about the schools that need to be renovated. And I think this is a good time to look at plans for any school that desperately needs renovations- I only mention Wootton as that is our home school (now and following districting). I think they should use the new schools smartly, not haphazardly as it appears they are.[/quote]

Yeah I only know about some of the issues at Wootton based on some students talking about it at board meetings.

But Magruder has had issues with it's boiler system not working and I think they had a water main break within the last several years too.

They're both due for renovations.

With Howard County's major redistricting back around 2019 there were a lot of angry families too.  To the point where they had to have police present at the board meetings.  But that didn't stop them from looking at the majority of the school system.  (this is in reference to another comment further back about how MCPS decided not to look at the school system as a whole for these studies due to fear of backlash)[/quote]

And that's exactly what MCPS should have done.  It's ridiculously short-sighted that they didn't just bite the bullet and get  a full system wide boundary study done.  The current studies look at 19 or the 25 HS.  It’s only missing Blake, MacGruder, Paint Branch, Sherwood, Springbrook, Rockville.[/quote]

They probably purposely took these out so they could justify building crown and rezoning other schools. [/quote]

Taking them out didn't justify anything.  A boundary study is approved once the school is already approved for construction.  They should have said that given the number of schools in play, the findings from boundary analysis, and the need for a program review, now is perfect time to do a full boundary study that would set the district up best for future success.[/quote]

McKnight's decisions continue to affect us years later.[/quote]
