[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I literally said that the lawsuit would cause delay. Not sure why you are arguing that point."

I see the point you are making but given the way the BOE decides things, a delay in and if itself is a success.   If this was delayed by a couple years, what are they going to do with Crown in the interim? Then after the delay as you stated, the whole situation will need to be reevaluated would it not?  And that reevaluation will be with new facts and possibly new board members. So it is more than just a delay, it is a full "do over" as the kids would say.   Given how this was handled, a 'Do over" is in order.  Your concise synapsis of the legal situation has given me new hope.   [/quote]

Correct. For now, use Crown for some of GHS and the remainder as holding school capacity. In a few years, MCPS will have a much better handle on enrollment numbers and projected growth around Crown. As expressed earlier in this thread, the fear is that closing Wootton and moving it to Crown will result in overcrowding at Crown in only a few short years. Any money saved my not remediating Wootton’s current plumbing and mold issues would have to be spent to reopen it - perhaps even more because it laid unused for that time. Even if Wootton were used as a holding school immediately, those same issues would have to be remediated. Yet Wootton will have ceased to exist, costing MoCo the #3 school in MD and #191 in the country. [/quote]
