[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see that a formal request was recently
made to add Fields road to option H. How big are Rosemont and Fields road? Wootton already has a pretty significant population so I imagine this would just be another situation of making a school overcrowded right from the get go which kind of defeats the entire purpose? Also, I hate that The middle schools don’t go to high school together-that is so backwards and I haven’t seen that in any other district I have lived in. You basically have to start over in High School.[/quote]

500+ students for both fields road and crown from rosemont. It could grow to 1000 as there are still new housing development. [b]It doesn’t work for capacity unless they move some Wootton ES out.[/b]

And this is why I keep saying they need to move out Dufief and parts of Travilah out. Fields Road belongs in Crown so to accommodate them something has to go out from Wootton.[/quote]

And I keep saying A-D has Dufief at Crown, E-H has Dufief at Wootton, the county is saying no more official options, so will they just completely blindside Dufief and move them to QO? They probably would, but doing that is a complete violation of trust in the process. [/quote]

Wasn't Dufief to QO at one point? Wouldnt really be a blindside right? Or did they replace QO with Crown?[/quote]

Couple of the round 1 June options had them going to QO when they were doing all the crazy redistricting everywhere but MCPS has repeatedly said that strategy is off the table- and those options are off the table- now that the regional model is part of the boundary study. So yeah, you could say it isn't a complete blindside. Instead it would be an outright lie. [/quote]

Strategies change based on other needs. Wootton going to Crown was never part of the plan then but then Wootton parents put up a big show with petitions flying around to save their children from an unsafe school. MCPS listened and now you have Option H. And Fields Road community is opposed to going elsewhere than their neighborhood school and who could blame them. MCPS has to listen to them too.

Wootton parents got what they asked for with regards to a safe school. And if Dufief or Travilah has to move to accommodate Fields Road so be it. It makes logical sense that Fields Road goes to Crown, not Dufief or Travilah. You can thank the Wootton parents who circulated those petitions.

Guess we’ll just wait and see what happens. Must tear you up that you’re not the one in charge here 😁[/quote]

Ha ha. I guess we will wait. Honestly I do not care where Dufief goes but logically Option H is the best thing MCPS can do to satisfy 2 communities.

If I were the one in charge I would stop the 6 regional magnets and make them 2. And forget Dufief, I would rezone everyone based on proximity and not on wealth.
