[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People affected by this who currently are zoned for Wootton will lose a considerable amount of their property value I would assume? So they will just sell, move to much cheaper areas and then send to private (which they will now be able to afford since they are no longer paying for a house in the Wootton district). That’s how I see this playing out if H goes forward.[/quote]

Selling at a loss, people are going to go bankrupt.[/quote]

So much hysteria. Why would the value of your house go precipitously down when your high school changes from a crumbling building 1 mile from your house to a new building 3 miles from your house, with all of the same students?[/quote]

Have you not been reading? Its not  going to be all the same students. It will pull from Gaithersburg HS feeding schools with option H. It shows one in the initial option but plans include pulling around 1000 student from Gaithersburg HS zones.[/quote]

Can you post a link to the plan that proposes adding 1000 Gaithersburg students + all of Wootton to Crown?[/quote]

There is no link for adding the 1000 students yet but that was discussed by one of the school board members at a local HOS meeting last night. That being said just look up option H and you will see Rosemont Elementary is listed as being part of the plan. That’s a Gaithersburg HS feeder elementary. Then the plan is to increase from there. But it doesn’t matter, even the one school being in the plan will cause the problems. [/quote]

So Wootton is so high and mighty that a poor school cannot join them? GTFO.

I really hope Fields Rd, Rosemont and maybe part of Brown Station also goes to Crown along with Wootton. They deserve a good learning environment too.

Wootton parent here and PP does not speak for the majority of parents. That was a disgusting comment and frankly I think they don't realize that Wootton kids already come from many backgrounds socioeconomically etc. Our school has plenty of "problems" already. The same way her kid avoids them at Wootton they can avoid them at Crown. Except now they will actually have working heat and clean updated bathrooms that are not in the middle of the hallway.
