[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 1hr 2min on the video the sidewalks rant lady with kids who graduated 13 years ago is a trip.[/quote]

There's two posts talking about this lady and I think her message got lost a bit or people just take things out of context and see what they want to see.

I think her points were:

-MCPS and Montgomery County had thought or tried to implement pedestrian safety but failed to do so with the inadequate sidewalks from the Willows to Frost.  So what guarantee do families have now that they can trust the plan for pedestrian safety to Crown

-then I guess her point about Lakewood was that the renovations were done in a year and a half with the utilization of a holding school

I'm probably a bit biased too but watching the video I didn't think it was as bad as posts on here seem to indicate.  Maybe things went a bit off the rails towards the end.  But I've seen worse in other school systems that didn't even involve school closures/moving.[/quote]
Isn’t part of the reason for Wootton to be moved and replaced by Crown because of the unforeseen large decline and continuing in student enrollment? So it would make sense to consolidate.[/quote]

You all seem kind of trusting of how MCPS twists things to fit their narrative.

When did the reports of declining enrollment first come out?  Around October?

And somehow MCPS was able to whip option H in between the time these numbers became evident and when option H was first introduced in the beginning of December?  Do you really think MCPS is really that fast and mobile that they can come up with what they did in about a month and based on accurate data and justifications?

Admittedly I am a conspiracy theorist.  So in my mind MCPS pushed out these reports to help justify the rationale of Option H when it was presented.

It's the same reason why you can trust any news organizations from either end.  They just report what's fed to them and are used to build public sentiment for either direction.

It's either that or Option H was always in the plans.

And it's as other people have been saying, if you really dig into the data based on the decisions there are a lot of flaws or inaccuracies in them.  And people point them out in Board meetings and posts.  But the issue is that everyone is so biased against the opposers of Option H, that they just choose to see someone as whining or complaining.
