[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no irreversible decisions. If there's a baby boom or a federal government hiring boom leading to families flocking to Rockville, Wootton can be re-opened.[/quote]

But it won't be the same Wootton because it will be determined that some feeder ES schools remain at Crown.

So it could be something like Dufief and Stone Mill stays at Crown.  While the other original feeder schools go back to Wootton.

Then those Dufief and Stone Mill families wouldn't be in the same type of school that Wootton was.  Like I said, it might not be a bad school.  But would it be top five or ten in the state?

If the building conditions were really that bad, then wouldn't the pro H Wootton families jump at the chance for a new school regardless if the rest of the community goes with them?  No, they spent all time wanting to keep the community together and now they want the new school too.

And the Rosemont island people?  It used to be a given, you either choose a nice house/newer school or you choose the higher performing schools and sacrifice what you get a bit.  Take the developments around Lakeforest mall.  Some people may have initially bought into those neighborhoods for the nice/new homes.  But a good number of families moved out once it was time for their kids to go to school.  The homes around Rosemont island are on the expensive side.  But they would be even more expensive if they were zoned for another school.  And the Rosemont island people want the nice homes they got AND a higher performing school.[/quote]

No, it won't be the "same Wootton" nor will it even be called Wootton since that same will be taken by the school @ Crown. But families who live near it would attend, albeit not with the exact same 6 clusters they do now. But that's life. Boundaries change. If you want a school district that never changes, move to a small town. A high school's entire student body turns over every 4 years anyway.[/quote]

With the redistricting, no school will be the same.  Most schools are having significant changes, including redistricting, staffing reductions, etc.  [/quote]
