[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dufief parent here.  I wanted to clear some things up.

We objected to options A-D because we were being singled out as the only school in the cluster who would have been moved.  The number of students that would have been sent to Lakelands and Crown was so small that we worried about our kids who are currently at Frost and Wootton having a small number of kids join them.  We were not worried about the make up of the students in options A-D.  We were also worried about all of the split articulations and the impacts that it would have on those communities.  A lot of those island schools already have become well connected to their current feeder middle and high schools.

We would have preferred options E-H that would keep us with Wootton.  A lot of friendships and activities are interconnected with our Wootton Cluster schools and we didn’t want to be cut off entirely.  [/quote]

Options that use Crown as a holding school (even if slightly under enrolled) will cause the least disruption while MCPS gets community input on long term impacts. [/quote]

Dufief Karens can’t get behind Crown as a holding school. They know as long as Wootton exists, they will be the ones  sent to Crown (whether it is right now as in D or later as in EFG) without the rest of Wootton. They are the ones scared of going to a school without the “right demographics” and what that will do to their home property values. It’s all self projected righteous screaming with them.[/quote]

If you're from Stone Mill or Travilah (but especially SM) this is projection.  If Crown opens as a holding school, the ES study goes through and then Crown is later re-opened, I'd put Stone Mill at a high risk of being moved to Crown as well.  In multiple of the initial options DuFief or Travilah was moving to QO and SMES to Crown. Just because A-D didn't feature that as the second round doesn't mean a future boundary study couldn't easily look something like Options 1-4. [/quote]
