Agreed and to continue the baseball analogy, we are moving the Yankees to Pennsylvania, we are combining them with the Phillies, and we are naming the new team the Pennsylvania Crowns.   However there is absolutely no evidence that we are closing the Yankees

This is nuts.  H is basically the equivalent of moving the Yankees down the street to a new stadium, adding 5 or 6 new players to the 25-man roster over the off-season, keeping the coaching and other managment staff the same, keeping the name the same (it will still be called Wootton, guys, sheesh), etc... this has literally happened, and happens with sports teams all the time, and no one is like "They got rid of the Yankees!  They're not really the Yankees anymore because they have a new stadium and some of the players changed!". That would sound idiotic and frankly all the Wootton chicken littles don't sound much better.

Reminder one more time, folks: dealing with boundary changes and school location changes is normal and not a big deal.  Yeah, they don't usually happen in the same year, but are you really gonna tell us you'd be fine with option H if Wootton moved in 2027 but the boundaries didn't change until 2029?  Nope, because you think you're entitled to your school staying exactly the same AND entitled to the rest of the county paying for expensive repairs to your building.  Sorry guys. [/quote]
