[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think the reason for the confusion is that there were two different map rezonings that occurred from Wootton to RM. The first was HH in 1987, and the second was in connection with Fallsgrove opening around 2002 or 2003 (as at that time, it looked like Wootton would be overcapacity and RM would be under - things have changed on that front over the years).[/quote]

[b]This is a good example of a very bad decision made based on diversity zoning and piss poor capacity planning. [/b]Wooton never reached overcapacity and RM is overflowing. Great job MCPS.

HH or FG never made RM any better or worse. What has made RM more attractive and its scores to rise has been the success of the magnet program, development in the Rockville area, and possibly the Chinese immersion program in College Gardens. Had MCPS not been so focused on moving white neighborhoods into RM then RM would not overcrowded today. They should have simply renovated Wootton and left the boundaries alone. It would have been cheaper than all the deferred emergency maintenance and RM would not be filled to the brim with as many trailers.

Years ago over in the QO cluster, RC parents requested that MCPS allow COSA's into under enrolled Wootton ES schools. The Wootton ES schools did not object. The RC parents would have provided their own transportation. MCPS objected because it wasn't moving low income kids into Wootton. Now after many years, MCPS is finally going to move some kids out of RC into Dufief but they let years of kids  in overcrowded classrooms for no reason other than it didn't align with their diversity goals.

MCPS clearly doesn't give a crap about education or actual students. The central office only cares about what a handful of fools think looks good on paper. [/quote]

No kidding. How could MCPS have not had a better idea about enrollment numbers 40 years in the future? So incompetent!!!![/quote]
