[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]100% the Wootton walkers are hanging their hat on option H being illegal. They cannot get through their head that MCPS would have vetted this plan to make sure it was legal before going forward with it as an option. [/quote]

That is the smoking gun.  They could vet the legality so as to force us into it, but they built the building without vetting the legality and they spent more time on vetting the legality than trying to anticipate enrollment.

EG they knew they were doing something that wasn't very good.[/quote]

Building Crown was legal, but announcing and pushing hard an option to close/move a top school to fill it without appropriate due diligence and community input is not. [/quote]

Is it closed though? They will use it for a different purpose just like Woodward and Northwood?[/quote]

And even if this does constitute a closure under COMAR (unlikely) there is nothing illegal about closing a school.  You just have to follow a process...which they can still do.[/quote]

You want to be right so badly, but MCPS will not want to announce Wootton as a closure. Furthermore, the chronology of events and legal discovery could support a finding that Option H’s closure of Wootton is arbitrary, meaning the MD BOE must reverse the decision. [/quote]

It's clearly not arbitrarily.  Wootton is the second closest school to Crown. And the only school that is closer was recently replaced and is on the other side of 270.[/quote]

Again, not up to you. If litigation happens, the move/closure is toast. [/quote]

Unlikely. And the fact that you're talking about it and some are organizing is an indication that notice has been provided and public input is being sought.[/quote]

Notice has been provided of a school closure? Please cite to this in an official MCPS communication. [/quote]

I've been getting emails. You haven't?

You're hung up on the "closure" word. Even if it was a closure, MCPS wouldn't have to use your desired word.[/quote]
