[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wootton PTSA has publicly committed to planning for the transition to the new building if the BOE votes for this option. I hope the few rogue parents will listen to the wise Wootton leadership and stand down for the benefit of the community.  [/quote]

How is that going to work with an active legal situation? Are they inextricably linked?[/quote]

There isn't an active legal situation. They don't have a case.[/quote]

Compare these Taylor scenarios for 2 school sites he wanted decommissioned.   [b]Taylor/MCPS decided to call Wootton a relocation, SSIMS a closure.  No difference in what would happen to public school students currently in boundary. [/b]  Politicians care about 1 site and not the other.  Jawando quiet on 1 closure and not the other https://www.willjawando.com/news/  None of them care about the no Wootton overload for Churchill.

Process should have been the same for both sites.  MCPS Taylor does not want to fund operating a 27th HS.   12/11/26 meeting had SSIMS closure as an action item that failed.   Same meeting should have had a vote on closure of Wootton.

Sorry, no, this analysis is dumb.  SSIMS would have actually been shut down and its students and staff split to other existing schools.  Wootton, its staff, and almost all of its students are moving from an old building to a vacant brand new building.  Not sure how anyone can think these two things are the same?  [/quote]

SSIMS was also going to be used as a holding school. Exactly the same as the Wootton plan.  Exactly. [/quote]

What are you talking about?  You are nuts.  Do you really not understand the difference between closing a school and moving a school?

The fact that the empty building would be used as a holding school doesn't somehow mean that the school itself therefore closes.  That makes zero sense.  You are off your rocker. [/quote]
