[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The entire situation is messed up. It sounds like A-D are dead. It’s really E, F, G, or H. It boils down to Crown or Wootton as a holding school.

For most people, the choice depends on the neighborhood they live in.

If you are closer to Crown, Dufief, Stone Mill, Travilah, you want H. You rather everyone go with you now to Crown.

If you are closer to Wootton, especially the walkable neighborhoods like Fallsmead and Rockshire, you rather have EFG.

Then you got Gaithersburg cluster folks, who don’t like any of the options.

Ultimately, I think G makes the most sense. Kids who live walkable to Crown should go to Crown. The rest should be used as a holding facility. Once Damascus, Magruder, and Wootton are done, the demographics of this county can be COMPLETELY different. G is the most stable and long term. Why close Wootton and shift its kids around only to reopen it? Why bus over a thousand kids from Damascus and Magruder to Wootton? Crown is off the highway.

No one here will get everything they want but I think G can give a little to all parties.  [/quote]

It’s absurd that we spent so much time, money, and effort into options 1–4, which led to option A-D. Then two weeks later, Taylor abruptly scrapped the entire process and we’re told to disregard all prior work and pivot to brand-new options like Crown or Wootton as the holding school.  It’s a complete reset that makes the previous boundary process feel pointless[/quote]

The only reason why Wootton is even an issue is because parents have been demanding a new facility for years and amped it up this year.  [/quote]

Not true, parents are asking for renovation of Wootton for years but Taylor told Wootton if you want a rebuild, he may get it faster for them. So this year Wootton asked for rebuilt at CIP hearing. Not sure if that’s a trap.
