[quote=Anonymous][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. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1987/05/25/school-shift-stirs-rockville-dispute/a460e6bd-9d22-4b6d-a490-c8aef025f231/[/quote] 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? 2021: https://woottoncommonsense.com/11948/opinion/montgomery-county-forgets-about-wootton-no-plans-for-renovation-in-sight/ 2023: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yg-sU632OgaktZ8Z236CUxNotlrFFGy1/view "the project has been delayed by eight years to August 2029 while others have jumped ahead" https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/COUNCIL/Resources/Files/agenda/col/2024/20240206/testimony/Testimony93-MoniqueAshton-MCPS.pdf I don't think the County Council will be happy until a Wootton student dies? [/quote] This is false. Asians moved there because it was priced better than Potomac, but the school was strong academically. It's renovations get pushed back because other schools have bigger problems like overcrowding, but once schools like Crown and Woodward come online I can't imagine there would be any further excuses.[/quote]
