[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.

The fact that Wootton families are almost universally opposed to closing Wootton 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]

Oh boy, not this again.

The DuFief community, the Rio apartments, and the Grove were going to be re-districted to Crown; the Superintendent's recommendation to move Wootton keeps the Wootton cluster together, outside of Cold Spring, who wanted to move to Churchill.

Reading the testimonials, there is a group of current Wootton parents who want to move the school (mostly at DuFief), along with a group of Wootton parents who don't want to move the school (mostly in Rockville). It's based on geography and how close they are to the current Wootton site.

My guess is that a lot of current Wootton parents are like my friend, who has a kid at Frost. His kid has to ride a bus either way, so he doesn't really care that it's moving to Crown.[/quote]
