It is not. According to the CIP, Wootton is projected to be under capacity through 2034.

From your link:

Capital Project: Previous projections indicated that  enrollment  at  Thomas  S.  Wootton  High  School  would  exceed  capacity  by  200  seats  or  more by the end of the six-year planning period. An  FY  2018  appropriation  was  approved  for  a  facility  planning  to  conduct  a  capacity  study.  Expenditures are approved in the six-year period to open a new high school on the Crown Farm site to address overutilization in the mid-county region. Although an FY 2019 appropriation for planning was recommended by the Board of Education for this new school, the County Council delayed the funds by one year to begin in FY 2020. An FY 2020 appropriation was approved for planning to begin the architectural design for this project. Based on the expenditures shown in the recommended CIP, the new school is scheduled to open September 2025. An appropriation will be recommended in the next full CIP for construction funding. In order for this project to be completed on time, county and state funding must be provided at the levels recommended in this CIP.[/quote]
