[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s clear the naysayers on this thread are likely residents of Crown or its environs whose kids don’t or wouldn’t go to Wootton where it is today. They’re excited about opening a new school (built for someone else) and calling it Wootton (a lie) to boost their property values and improve the Gaithersburg tax base.

[b]The fact that Wootton families are almost universally opposed to closing Wootton [/b]and transplanting some of its students to Crown should speak volumes to the BOE.  Unfortunately, political deals have been cut to cover up MCPS’ incompetence and reward Gaithersburg with a “W” school (which used to have a well-performing school in QO, but no longer).  I guess it’s equity at work once again. [/quote]

Is this true?  It might be, but as far as I can tell no one has any idea.  People who are angry about the move are quite vocal.  But there could easily be a large chunk of people who favor moving to a better building that is closer to where they personally live.  The move seems to flip which neighborhoods will be happiest.  Walkers become bus riders and bus riders become either walkers or at least people with a shorter commute.  If I lived north of Wootton's current location, I think I'd be at least neutral on the move and probably in favor of it.
