[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im willing to give it a shot, the hysterics on here might not but forever will be the case. Its "not a home run of what I want", isn't the sound argument you think it is. Saying that every poor kid isn't better off the way you think they should be isn't a management plan either. Balancing modernization at the schools that are working and empowering programs that allow load balancing long term is putting tools in place that can be used going forward is a better plan than currently exists to incorperate flexiblity and student choices [/quote]

Do you work for MCPS? Cause this was a bunch of word salad.[/quote]

+1 the PP reads like a parody of BS consultant talk[/quote]

Sounds like Dr. Taylor when he recommended Option H - “I can’t please everyone “….  He doesn’t seem to want to please anyone but his political bosses. [/quote]

I can't even figure out which political bosses he's pleasing though. Because he has pissed off every level of government in Rockville with his Option H decision: https://montgomeryperspective.com/2026/02/06/rockville-mayor-city-council-members-disappointed-with-superintendent-on-wootton/[/quote]

Those bosses would be in Gaithersburg, which stands the most to gain from closing Wootton and moving most of its kids to Crown.

Who knows, maybe the City of Rockville will join in the lawsuit or file a friend of the court brief. If that happens, MCPS will tuck tail and run as far away from Option H as it can. [/quote]

I don't think so.

Gaithersburg was most concerned about Crown being a holding school. They actually wanted Crown to be a brand-new school. Jud Ashman, the mayor of Gaithersburg, is just settling for Wootton moving there since it's better than it being a holding school. He posted this on Facebook:

Correct, and that pits Rockville against MCPS and Gaithersburg. Rockville wants to keep Wootton where it is and use Crown as a holding school. Under Option H, Gaithersburg will get the tax revenue and increased property value around Crown, while Rockville loses them.

This may be bigger than Taylor expected, so the BOE might punt for a couple of years to smooth over any ruffled feathers. The smart move would be to keep Wootton and make Crown very attractive for advanced biotech programs.  Each city gets something out of that kind of deal. [/quote]
