[quote=Anonymous]The conditions of schools are unacceptable for both Wootton and Magruder - and others actually. But the limiting factor is money.

Wootton is being offered a solution but doesn't want it. Magruder isn't even being offered Wootton as a holding school right now - it will be a long time. MCPS isn't saying - here Magruder, we are sending you to an equally bad holding school (Wootton) and you get a new school as long as you sit tight there for a bit. They are saying, we are strategically able to not open another HS due to enrollment decline, meet the needs of one community that has been advocating for a new school (Wootton), and eventually meet the needs of more schools and faster. It isn't great and it still isn't enough but it's probably the best option based on where we are. But Magruder should know - they aren't headed to Wootton anytime soon. And this isn't even about who needs it more or not. This is just how it is playing out.

MCPS won't even commit to much of anything with Wootton, other than they addressed the rumor that they are going to sell the property (they aren't), though I'm sure many don't believe it still. So when there are arguments against spending money to fix up Wootton if you are just going to rebuild it - it makes sense but it doesn't. It is all just hypotheticals at this point. [/quote]
