[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I think this is all BS.
[b]It doesn’t look good for a brand new state of the art building to be a holding school, so mcps moves Wootton there.[/b]

Magruder isn’t on the CIP.
There’s no money to renovate Wootton.

Mark my words: Wootton will just sit there for years and years and the building will keep deteriorating.

There’s no firm plan to use Wootton as a holding school (no solid plans to invest the money and Magruder isn’t even on the CIP) because MCPS has no intention of actually converting Wootton into a holding school. [/quote]

Except they just did exactly that by using brand-new Woodward as a holding school for Northwood while new Northwood is being built.

So clearly if it was ok to do there, why not do the same with Crown?[/quote]

Taylor said he needs a holding school. If it isn’t Woodward containing in that capacity, then it’s either Wootton or Crown. That means Wootton must be remediated in order to justify moving its kids to Crown.

Also, the current enrollment dip is temporary and school districts operate on 40 year timelines. So it will need both Wootton and Crown in the next 10-15 years. Faced with that fact, it’s kinda stupid to close a top performing high school.  [/quote]
