[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the best option:

1. Wootton kids get a brand new school.
2. Best use of a new school as a permanent place and not holding school.
3. Add diversity to “Wootton” by adding crown area. It already has Rio. This is contiguous and good planning.
4. Horizon Hill can no longer talk about not walking to Wootton. RM is as close or closer than Crown.[/quote]

For the most part I don't think there's much to complain about option H.

EXCEPT the walking routes/zones have students walk along and across busy commuter routes and is about a 40 minute walk from some areas on the far edge of the walking zone.

So days like yesterday morning with the heavy rain kind of raises an issue for families who used to have a school bus for their neighborhood and public transit as an option, who would be faced with figuring out how to get their kids to schools with a change to the Crown location where there is no direct public bus route.

If they can resolve that issue, I don't really have any real complaints with option H.  Well maybe making sure all the facilities are available for use too, ie athletic fields, auditorium, etc.

Also everyone is just focusing on the high schools.  But Robert Frost is only one year newer then Wootton, built in 1971 with no major renovations since then.  So likely has the same issues as the current Wootton building.  When will the middle schools be slated for renovations then?[/quote]
