[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crown never should have been built. [/quote]

Oh in that case I am going to go get my time machine, thank you![/quote]

Fine, let’s use Crown as a holding school. Taylor already has money to fix up and claims that he needs to operate Wootton as a holding school, so why move it or the Wootton boundaries at all?  Crown seems line the perfect place to use as a holding school. The excess capacity can be used for 5-10 years while other high schools are renovated and remediated, at which point Crown will have grown it’s student population organically. [/quote]

Where do you see that Taylor has the money or a timeline to renovate Wootton as a holding school?

The only portion of the recommendation that addresses using the current site of Wootton as a holding school is one sentence: "The current site on Wootton Parkway will be used as a holding site for schools to allow for major construction projects as well as smaller projects such as roof replacements or Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) projects that usually occur over multiple phases, potentially accelerating secondary capital projects."

There's been no planning for which schools, in which order, would use a holding school. Meanwhile, Crown will be ready to open in 1.5 years.

It's not a good use of a brand new school to sit vacant while the Wootton site continues to fall apart.

With perfect hindsight, Crown shouldn't have been built and the building at Wootton shouldn't have been allowed to deteriorate as far as it has. But with the current situation (brand new building in Gaithersburg, falling apart building in Rockville), it makes perfect sense and the best use of resources to move Wootton to the Crown site and [/quote]
