Wootton  is under-enrolled but full of portable on backyard... [b]Is capacity determined by capacity of portables?[/b]
So do we want to do rezoning to load portables with more kids or put more portables?
I am just curios...
May be I am wrong, but I believe that I saw more than 3 portables (see attached)
https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/regulatoryaccountability/glance/currentyear/schools/04234.pdf
I  see that  current capacity here is  2, 159 (with 3 portables!) - according to that paper it is already over capacity for 2018-2019.
So how they make it to show that school is under capacity on other documents?
I think school was supposed to go through renovation (until they decided to build Crown) due to overcrowding...
Something does not add up.
Especially this strange forum that screams non-stop that school is underutilized...
What am I missing?

So you want your child to be rezoned to Wootton to be at portable?
Unless we are talking Crown (year away), how rezoning would help Wootton kids? Shuffling around schools and busing? However all HS around at or over  capacity, so what rezoning will give except busing and wasting time?
Except Duffief ES none of the school have really significant capacity.  (May be Cold Spring, but it does not even have walls inside...) So do you want to put extra kids in Duffief and then pull them out for different MS and HS?
Or should Duffief belong to different cluster?

No.

Wootton HS is not under capacity. However, there are schools in the Wootton HS cluster that are under capacity - notably Dufief ES, which is getting an addition followed by a boundary change with Rachel Carson ES, and Travilah ES.

Even if Woohoo were at capacity that isn't especially compelling since half the schools in the county are 50% over capacity.[/quote][/quote]
