[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good.  Now if they could add in also not rebuilding an aging high school and using Crown instead once it has been used as a holding school to rebuild one less than originally planned aging high schools.  We do not need another high school to pay to operate during declining enrollment and it makes sense to not renovate a decrepit current high school when there is an available new school.  MCPS needs to be consolidating schools and closing the most underutilized/in disrepair not expanding.  The more old schools in need of massive repair that can be closed with students attending underutilized in better repair nearby schools, the better for the fiscal future of MCPS.  [/quote]

10000% I posted back in the spring on here about this that crown should be a holding school to replace these two since it’s too late to undo the decision to build crown. I believe I shared that feedback when responding to the survey in May, so glad to see they’ve agreed.

Today I started thinking as you described. They should replace one of Magruder or Wootton (probably Magruder based on geography) build it a bit larger to accommodate future growth and potential boundary changes and then move the other (Wootton) to Crown indefinitely. Wootton could become a holding school for future renovations (QO and Churchill will be about 45 and 35 years in 2035. If the need arises due to growth down the road they reopen a brand new Wootton.

The location of Wootton is awful anyway given proximity to Crown, RM and Churchill. Crown should have not been built given its location also being so close to Wootton and Gaithersburg.[/quote]
