[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like some are legitimately concerned about the process (is it closing Wootton or just moving everyone and combining them with others to form a new school - Crown), especially as we look ahead to the ES boundary study. Seems likely that will have school closures and we should all hope that will be done following the proper process.

If it weren’t for the ES boundary study coming up, I might agree that the parkway parents are just being over the top. But I think we need to sort out the process now, or MCPS could take shortcuts with ES school closures countywide.[/quote]

I think this is clearly a relocation, not a closure. But, suppose we ignore the meaning of words and consider it a closure. What procedural violation was there? The only thing I can see was a likely failure to put the proper notices in two newspapers. I say likely because I have no idea if they did-- I certainly don't read public notices and I doubt you do, either.

Procedural violations alone aren't enough to reverse a decision. You need to demonstrate that violatation prejudiced a substantial right. I don't think I've heard anyone claim they didn't know this was going on because it wasn't advertised in public notices in two newspapers.[/quote]
