[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wootton will be Crown in Gaithersburg in 2027. Are they demolishing the current Wootton building?[/quote]

The Superintendent's recommended plan is to move Wootton to Crown [b]and then renovate Wootton as a holding school[/b] to hold students during renovations for other schools. After that's done, who knows, maybe enrollment will recover and they re-open the building?

The Superintendent also delivered a non-recommended plan to open Crown as a high school and keep Wootton as is.

We'll find out what the Board of Education decides in late March.[/quote]

If MCPS has the money to do the bolded, why not leave Wootton where it is and use Crown as a holding school (since the money has already been spent to build it)?  I haven’t seen an answer to this question from MCPS. [/quote]

Hasn't been addressed, but to me it makes sense.

Moving Wootton to Crown and making the old Wootton building the holding school adds more flexibility to the timeline.

What're the first schools that are going to be utilizing the holding school and when? If the new rebuilds aren't happening until 2028 or 2029, then it's leaving the new Crown school unused.

Similarly, if MCPS can't find all the money to fix up the old Wootton building by 2027, they can still keep the building empty and spread out the repairs or delay them. If students are going to be there by in 2027, then that only leaves summer of 2027 to fix things up (or fix things up with students in the building).[/quote]
