[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am guessing it has to do with the desire to expand the mall which is currently on hold due to school over crowding.  Expand Wootton, move some kids from WJ to Wootton (W to W will not be too controversial) and the mall expansion can proceed.  Wootton will also be a little bit safer from rezoning to Crown (we were just re-zoned).  QO, RM, and Gaithersburg will be left..[/quote]

The desire to expand which mall?[/quote]

Westfield Montgomery is slated to have a major expansion with includes residential in the old Sears area.  It has been put on hold due to a lack of school capacity.  Other parts of the expansion like a health club are also on hold till the residential is there to support it.[/quote]

How can WJ kids be rezoned to Wootton?  Perhaps Woodward when that reopens, but not Wootton.  Westfield is almost in walking distance to WJ, which is currently over capacity,  so the delay is probably to allow Woodward to reopen and boundaries to be redrawn accordingly.

Westfield is also near Churchill boundaries but no renovations have been approved there and Churchill is overcapacity. Woodward and WJ are more logical schools for when the new residential areas are built. [/quote]

How can they be?  MCPS just has to will it..  It Wootton gets bigger than can move more kids there.[/quote]
