[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is time to move Ritchie Park back into the Wootton Cluster.    They never should have been moved out of it.[/quote]
The old timers in my neighborhood still complain about this  :) [/quote]

Because it has dropped the home values by $50-90K.  I would complain too!  Not to mention Wootton is in walking distance to many of those neighborhoods and would save buses [/quote]

It happened in 1987. Nineteen eighty seven. Almost 40 years ago. If you were a homeowner in Horizon Hill before 1987, and you're still complaining about it, you've led a fortunate life.

Here's a story I heard.  I don't know if it's true or not?

Wootton was built to, at the time, separate the Asian community from other schools, hence the massively gerrymandered boundaries?  I also heard that's why Wootton's renovation gets pushed back again, and again, and again?

At first I didn't believe it, but when I read this, I couldn't help remembering the story I heard?

"the project has been delayed by eight years to August 2029 while others have jumped ahead"

I don't think the County Council will be happy until a Wootton student dies?
