[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FFS, get ready folks, tomorrow's testimony includes Wootton flexing their money muscles and overtly trying to intimidate (threaten?) the BOE with lawsuits because they may not get their way.

This gem of a parent starts with, "I’m the one sending legal notices....You’re probably tired of hearing from me. I’m definitely tired of writing them" So, just a thought: no one asked you to do that so maybe take a break?

She then says, "My role is not to advise—you have counsel for that—but to caution that we are watching closely. Here’s just a few of the many legal issues we are tracking."

First of all, yea, pretty sure that's intimidation at it's finest. But also, she acknowledges they have counsel who is advising them and unless she thinks they are literal idiots, said counsel is not allowing them to do something illegal.

Or, maybe in typical Wootton fashion, she's just the smartest of them all?

Is she even a lawyer? I'm too lazy to google but I do hope she shows up in a Judge's robe tomorrow for her testimony. [/quote]

Let them sue.  [/quote]

Be careful what you wish for. Didn’t MCPS get spanked by the Supreme Court last year?  I’m quite sure that MCPS’ lawyers are going to be very careful about doing anything that even comes close to the legal line. [/quote]

You are very, very wrong. MCPS’ lawyers only get paid big bucks when MCPS is sued. [/quote]

MCPS lawyers lol aren’t even competent enough to argue in SCOTUS. MCPS lawyers get paid the same annual salary regardless of whether they get sued or not—which is why they don’t care and aren’t competent. When shit hits the fan lol MCPS hired out and pays insane amount of money for third party lawyers because they know their own lawyers are inept. Just Google who actually represented MCPS in the Supreme Court cases—wasn’t MCPS in house lawyers.

They sure do love wasting taxpayer money.[/quote]

The point about referencing the Supreme Court case is because MCPS died on a hill when it had several reasonable alternatives to resolve the dispute.  Instead, it set a bad precedent that will live for decades.

MCPS has alternatives to Option H, but if it pushes for that option, litigation will happen and it will look stupid again. If there is any hint of DEI or discrimination involved, the case might garner White House and DOJ attention.  Nobody wants that during an election year. [/quote]

I'm not Wootton educated so bear with me and my smaller brain here--can you clarify who from our current administration you think will punish MCPS for discrimination? I would think that they either won't GAD or will support the fiscal responsibility of the school system bc truly, their interest in matters of discrimination or children is seemingly nonexistent.

I’m sorry you didn’t graduate from Wootton. Sounds like the pain runs deep. You should seek therapy.

It’s not necessarily punishment. Just unwanted attention. Closing a top school to cover up incompetence in building a school based on inaccurate enrollment numbers.  Then treating the kids from that top school like trading cards.

MCPS could have rebuilt Wootton years ago and then expanded its boundary to Horizon Hill to ease overcrowding at RM.  alternatively, it could have done the same to absorb another neighborhood in North Potomac. Wootton families would have been far less vocal. MCPS might have lost the Crown land, but that would have been cheaper than building an under enrolled school. [/quote]
