[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why wouldn't they send the Wooton kids to Crown for a few years; tear down Wooton, and rebuild it?  Then once the new building is ready, the kids would return.[/quote]

Because it sounds like they don't need another new building. They really don't have a use for Crown given declining enrollment.[/quote]

I haven't followed details, but this is the only explanation that makes sense.  School aged population will be going down for the next few years at least, so they actually don't need this shiny new building they are constructing.  (The decline in student population is true at the national level; i've not followed the debate enough locally to know whether it is actually what is projected for MCPS or if people are worrying unnecessarily.  Given uncertainty in migration patterns, the solution that would make most sense is keeping Wootton as a holding school for a few years with only minor repairs until the trendline is clearer.)[/quote]
+1 not to mention the budget issues.  Revenue is down in MoCo, by a lot.
