[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all keep talking in circles at each other, getting nowhere. At this point, I think everyone on this thread has made up their mind. Put your energy into something more productive like writing to BOE.[/quote]

True that.  MCPS has already decided.  The BOE is testing the political winds before announcing.  Personally, I think they're going to use Crown as a holding school for Wootton while they claim that they'll find the money to renovate Wootton.  Give or take 5-10 years from now, after the current crop of late-elementary and middle school kids graduate, MCPS will announce that the move is permanent and the Wootton name will disappear (although he was a founding father, he was a significant slave owner in Maryland):

1. Kids kids were happy/doing well (and it will cherry-pick or massage the numbers to show this)
2. Families have adapted well to the change (the parents of past students will have moved on or gone quiet because their kids aren't in MCPS anymore)
3. Diversity numbers are up (and make MCPS look good)

100. MCPS couldn't find (never budgeted) the money.[/quote]

Sorry, I forgot reason #101 - The BOE chose to sell the land to a developer for $$$$ (who conveniently offered campaign funding to the DCCC or other MD (D) group that will make sure it trickles down to the campaigns of the current or former BOE members (who are running for higher offices).[/quote]

The DCC has very little.  We'd love a brand new building and all the opportunities Wootton has.[/quote]

The DCC is getting a brand-new building: Northwood.

Although the legacy DCC community will not equally benefit from this new building, since Wheaton and Kennedy will be iced out from enjoying the new building with the new regional model putting them in a separate region from their legacy DCC school siblings Blair, Einstein and Northwood.[/quote]
