[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are "parkway people"? [/quote]

The Wootton people who can walk to the building, who value the ability to walk to school above all else. Including their children’s health.

They are the members of the wootton community who are adamantly against the superintendents recommendation. Many others in the community are for the move to crown.  [/quote]

Maybe we don’t want our children to spend 40 minutes each way on the bus daily because it will negatively impact their health. We are going to be the farthest community from Crown. Our kids will be getting on those buses before 7 am. We bought our tiny townhouse to be able to walk to all 3 schools.[/quote]

Then, drive them.  Most of our kids spend 30-40 minutes or longer on the bus to their local high school.  My kids have a 15 minute ride to school and a 35 minute ride home on the bus for a 10 minute or less drive for me.[/quote]

Why do I need to drive them when I have a school I can see from my house? I need to do that because MCPS decided to build a school that’s apparently not needed and now they want to screw me? [/quote]

It's definitely personal. You're right. [/quote]

It surely feels that way when the only school they are doing this to is a majority Asian school. [/quote]

Oh FFS. It’s not bc Wootton is majority Asian. It’s bc the school needs repairs desperately, there’s a brand building available AND Wootton happens to be super close to the brand new building.

You would still have the same Asian community at new Wootton. [/quote]

Make Crown a holding school. Lots of high schools in worse condition than Wootton who actually want to go to Crown. [/quote]

You cannot put students into a holding school until there is a renovation underway. There is no money for a renovation. Therefore crown would just sit empty. Wootton would continue to deteriorate with even less money county wide. Wootton being a holding school under H isn’t actually happening for a good 5-8 years. [/quote]
