Ignore the lying troll. 
Wootton HS and Cold Spring (W elem) are two of the most overdue for renovations [/quote]

Really, Cold Spring should be closed. All of the Wootton cluster elementaries are well under capacity, and projected to keep decreasing. That money could be better spent on other projects.[/quote]

Have you stepped foot in Cold Spring? Yes, it is considered "under capacity" but the actual capacity is no where near what it is claimed to be. There is no space for a carpet for kids to sit on for whole group. Much of the "square footage" is literally stairs in the classroom. During a shelter in place, due to weather, kids are forced to take shelter in bathrooms and tiny cramped closets. As someone who works there, there is no space for a class of more than 20, ESPECIALLY in the upper grades. Yes, our population is Potomac but these kids are still entitled to a free, public education. They are still children and shoving these kids into already at-capacity classes in neighboring schools won't help anyone.[/quote]

I’m confused. You talk convincingly about the unacceptable conditions CS students endure… but you don’t want them to move to a better school?[/quote]

They are unacceptable and that is why the school should be renovated. I'd be more than happy if more kids came to CS however, we are at capacity (if not over). We cannot fit all the students in one place ever. If we were under capacity, how does that make sense?[/quote]

It’s not about the capacity at CS, it’s a question of whether there is space for those 300 students at nearby schools when they redraw boundaries. According to the CIP, there is.[/quote]

exactly!  But Julie Yang does not want to anger potential voters and campaign contributors.  She'd rather recklessly spend tax-payer money to get elected to the county council than take a fiscally responsible approach.[/quote]
