[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was it considered a closure back when Blair was moved?[/quote]

Not the same analogy at all.
Blair kept its name.
Blair’s move was closer.
Blair’s feeder pattern didn’t change. [/quote]

Only the first of those is at all relevant to whether it was a closure.  And was it?[/quote]

No the facts are all relevant.
In Blair’s case, MCPS was upfront. Blair needs a rebuild. We’re going to build a new campus for this sole purpose.

In this case, MCPS build a new school without any reason but for the fact that if they didn’t, the land would have to be given back to the developers. Now they realized due to COVID, crack down on immigration, and loss of federal workers, they don’t have the enrollment for a new school. They then created options like A-D to shift kids around.

They then get hit with Churchill lawsuits. Backed down, and created new options like E-H.

Unlike the Blair situation where it was a move that the community wanted and MCPS expressly told was for them, here this move is not welcomed by the community and only made not because MCPS cares about Wootton but because they royally messed up by breaking ground before they did their due diligence, but are too afraid to piss of Churchill folks so they are targeting Wootton.

The intended purposes are completely different here.[/quote]

+1.  Cries of racism and elitism are red herrings intended to obfuscate this simple truth.  Some of the BOE members are beginning to listen to Wootton and Gaithersburg families, and realize they can’t ram through Option H. Those families vote and are more likely to do so than the east county pro-Option H crowd on this thread. A person defending his or her home is far more dangerous than common agitators with nothing to lose. Those agitators are cowards. [/quote]
