[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Rockville Mayor and City Counsil are advocating for a "Modified Recommendation" where the superintendant's recommendation is implemented (moving Cold Spring to Churchill, sending Fields Roads + Rosemont to Crown) but the rest of Crown will be filled as a temporary holding school for Wootton and Magruder kids. Then a boundary study can be done to fill the remainder of Crown once Wootton and Magruder are done being renovated.[/quote]

If they care about keeping the school in Rockville they should not advocate for this extremely unlikely option and instead support Taylor's second option (modified D).  That plan only moves DuFief out of Wootton while keeping the Rockville feeder schools together @ Wootton in 20850.  Given DuFief is the only current Wootton ES in that plan that is 100% in the 20878 zip code (ie not Rockville), this should be no issue for them. Why bend over backwards for DuFief when they are not even in Rockville/20850? [/quote]

Because D would open a completely new school and cost more money than Option H; you have to staff the teachers, admins, grounds staff, everything to create a brand new high school. Given the budget constraints on MCPS, that's less of a likely scenario.

Instead, Rockville City Council and mayor are bowing to the most likely scenario that Wootton students will have to go to the Crown building in 2027, regardless of if it's a temporary move or a permanent move, simply because the Crown building is opening and the current Wootton site needs repairs. What they're hoping by proposing this modified recommendation is the promise / funding of the Wootton site re-opening as a school later, rather than leaving the current Wootton site status up in the air.[/quote]
