[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in the Wootton cluster and I think Option H solves a lot of needs with minimal negative impacts. Those that live closest to Wootton will obviously feel the adverse impacts of the loss of walkability and new traffic patterns. But how can any objective person really says it's not worth it to move a few miles in order to give the students and staff a brand new facility that is desperately needed. Bringing the existing Wootton building up to safe modern standards would cost $$$$. There are so many other schools with repair needs around the county that could use that money.[/quote]

Wootton families wanted their own building renovated but are willing to accept minor remediation for now. Crown was promised to GHS kids. Taking it away from them doesn’t solve anything and has a negative impact.[/quote]

Minor remediation?! How dare you say what “Wootton families will take.”  I am a Wootton parent, and I am not willing “to take” only minor fixes. What on earth constitutes minor out of the list of safety needs? All of the really negative aspects of the building are pretty darn major. HVAC. MOLD. PIPES. BATHROOMS.

It is so selfish to not be grateful to have been offered a new building but would rather drag everybody down with your loud opinions. This is actual safety of the children and the teachers.  And even more selfish to drain what is already a pathetic budget on updating a school when a new one is available. Like everybody’s taxpayer dollars will go to just our old building?

Last thing. To whomever said there will be lawsuits as soon as option H is selected: you are probably arguing that you are setting a good example for your kids by being determined and looking out for them. It’s teaching them to be a bunch of snowflakes who will grow up saying, “but do you know who I am?!” It’s not like we are being offered the raw end of the deal. Others would be so jealous of all of the amenities of this new building.[/quote]
