[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what the Wootton community reaction will be to this option. On one hand, this gets them a new safe school where otherwise they are waiting at least ten years. On the other hand, yes, a big change and some busing involved. Really not very far busing though so not sure it's that big of a deal. Pulling in some Crown feeders too, so maybe that helps a bit with the Crown community complaints they wouldn't get to utilize the school. Seems to make more sense than the hybrid option G. [/quote]

Because of the close distance between Wootton and Crown, there are several current Wootton elementary schools that are closer to Crown than Woottton including Dufief, Travilah, Stone Mill.  Lakewood is about a mile further from
Crown than Wootton, Fallsmead is about 3 miles further from Crown than Wootton. Cold Spring would have the largest increase in distance to the high school and even that is only 3.5 miles further to Crown than Wootton.[/quote]

So now we have Cold Spring kids being on the bus for longer period of time when they have a school right around the corner (Churchill). Also, how long will it take for MCPS to start feeding other schools from the county into Crown? To me this is more of a trap for Wotton families and unfortunately we might see some significant impact academically. Crown was build to address the Gaithersburg area schools and not Wotton.

I think it would be GREAT for Wootton families. The Wootton cluster remains totally intact and some other schools get added. I imagine Wootton would keep the high level course offerings it currently has. There isn't room for a ton of other schools and the increased diversity is a GOOD thing. [/quote]

The Wootton cluster remains intact with the other options as well...[/quote]
