[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If option H is installed, the older town houses value will collapse.  The new development near Wootton wok loose value.

There needs to be stronger protest from the community.

Not enough protest was going on when Horizon Hills, next to Wootton, was rezoned. Not environmental friendly either. [/quote]

Wootton is a quieter bunch and less litigious than Churchill and Whitman. People keep throwing words around like elitist, when in reality Wootton is average in wealth for this county.

This is honestly is the most worked up I’ve ever seen the cluster, and yet people keep saying that they are “gangsters” for simply advocating for their kids. Hell I wish Wootton would be louder—maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess to begin with because we would’ve gotten renovations done years ago. Instead, we keep getting ignored and sidelined. And now instead of renovations, they want Wootton to take the fall and fill in a school that doesn’t have enough kids to attend. If Crown truly doesn’t have enough kids, why build it in the first place? Or maybe it does have enough kids if we did a reasonable boundary study… but god forbid we ever touch the almighty Potomac Churchill kids. No we can’t touch Wayside or Potomac ES, so let’s pick on Wootton and make them take the fall for our poor choices.

That said, looks like finally something woke the sleeping giants and the Wootton cluster is protesting and making noise! [/quote]

The FARMS rate is 13%. Only 3 schools -- Whitman, Churchill, and Poolesville -- have lower than that. If 1-2 high FARMS % ES clusters are added and the location moved to Crown, that school would be around 20-25% FARMS. Similar to BCC.

Look at the Census tracks. The zoned tracts closest to Wootton have household incomes twice the median level for the county. Most of the others are have HHIs 50% above the county's median.

No, Wootton is not "average" wealth for the county. They're well above that.[/quote][/quote]
