[quote=Anonymous]"My recommendation starts with the assumption of relocating Thomas S. Wootton High School to
the Crown Farm site for the 2027-2028 school year. This allows us to address facility concerns
at Thomas S. Wootton HS current site for students and staff by relocating them to a brand new
building. It minimizes the costs and additional resources needed to operate an additional high
school in the county given updated student enrollment data trends and limited resources. The
current site on Wootton Parkway will be used as a holding site for schools to allow for major
construction projects as well as smaller projects such as roof replacements or Heating,
Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) projects that usually occur over multiple phases,
potentially accelerating secondary capital projects. This recommendation supports striving to
create a diverse student body in this region by increasing the percentage of resident students in
2025-2026 who participate in the Free and Reduced Priced Meals Program (FARMS) at Thomas
S. Wootton High School @ Crown Farm and Robert Frost Middle School. It also supports
striving to create a diverse student body in this region by increasing the percentage of resident
students in 2025-2026 who are identified as Emergent Multilingual Learners (EML) at Thomas
S. Wootton High School @ Crown Farm and Robert Frost Middle School. It offers stability of
school assignment over time as 5 of the 6 elementary schools currently assigned to Thomas S.
Wootton High School will continue to articulate to Thomas S. Wootton High School @ Crown
Farm. It increases the number of resident students in 2025-2026 who are within the identified
nontransported area from 551 students at the current site to 718 at Thomas S. Wootton High
School @ Crown Farm. The geographic proximity will allow for more students to follow
recommended walking routes and reduce the impact on student transportation resources for the
school system.
