[quote=Anonymous]Wootton parents can’t seem to win. If we support Option H, we’re framed as privileged parents pushing out Gaithersburg. If we question Option H, our facility concerns are mischaracterized as racial motives rather than what they are: concerns about safety and infrastructure. That framing needs to stop.

We are parents advocating for our children’s safety and health. We do not want students learning in a building with failing HVAC systems, chronic plumbing and restroom failures, and aging electrical infrastructure that no longer meets modern safety standards. Wootton has been placed on the Capital Improvements Program twice, only to be removed both times, leaving families with years of documented need but no path forward.

There are pros and cons to every option—whether that means a safe, secure Wootton High School on Wootton Parkway or a permanent move to Crown. Disagreeing on solutions does not make anyone ill-intentioned; it reflects a community grappling with difficult tradeoffs under DECADES of delayed investment and county-wide neglect. [/quote]
