Not sure why relieving overcrowding has to mess up the boundary of a school that’s not crowded.[/quote]

Students currently assigned to Wootton will be literally across the street from the new high school at Crown, but you think that Wootton shouldn't be included in the boundary study for the new high school at Crown? How about that.[/quote]
but but but .. neighborhood schools![/quote]
Perhaps you did t hear bit, according to the boundary analysis, 90+ % of MoCo supports neighborhood schools.  Conversely, only a small % of MoCo said diversity was important to them. [/quote]
which is why some of the Wootton neighborhoods would and should be zoned for Crown HS, because it's closer.[/quote]
Unfortunately the way the boundary policy was revised I. 2018, that don't matter as much as the skin color and family income.  If a poor school "needs" UMC whites and Asians, that's where those kids will be bused.[/quote]
If the umc white/asians live equidistant or closer to the "poor" school, then they should take the bus there, and that's what it looks like for Crown HS.  There are some Wootton neighborhoods that are closer or about equidistant to Crown site as Wootton.

Please look at the service map for wootton.  Do you even know where Crown HS is being built?  HINT: right on the border with Wootton boundary. That means the neighborhood school for that area is Crown HS, not Wootton.
Dufief and Stone Mill neighborhoods are closer to Crown than Wootton; Travilah is about equidistant.  So, if you want neighborhood schools, those areas should be zoned for Crown.

-umc white/asian family[/quote]
It's not Crown they'll bus your UMC white/Asian kids to.  It's Gaithersburg or perhaps Northwest, whichever needs them more.  Good luck![/quote]

That’s fear mongering. Crown or quince orchard or Richard Montgomery are the possibilities for Wootton. Others are simply too far away [/quote]
You forgot Gaithersburg and Northwest which are also possibilities and, according to the boundary policy, desperately need UMC white and Asian kids.[/quote]
Like I stated before, if they are currently taking a 10min bus ride to Wootton , then get rezoned to take a 10min bus ride to NW to address the FOUR factors in drawing boundaries, one of which is diversity, then yes, it might happen, and it should because, once again, diversity has been one of the four factors for a while now.  And before that poster posts about what they said in 2018, yes, I'm fully aware. I'm also fully aware that even before 2018, when boundaries were drawn they looked at diversity because, once again, diversity has been one of the four factors.

I'm also fully aware that in the upcounty boundary selection, they did not select the option that  had diversity as the #1 priority.  So, this proves that they don't ONLY look at diversity, but all four factors.  And this will play out with Crown HS boundary as well.  Some people will get zoned to another HS.  If you build a  new HS, that's what  happens. People get reassigned.[/quote]

Nobody takes 10 miles to Wootton currently.[/quote]
