[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous]What really *should* have happened if so many Wootton parents weren't so hellbent on getting a brand new school on the current Wootton site AND keeping their entire cluster together (totally unrealistic when it is a boundary study intended to redraw boundaries of multiple schools) is the following:

- Crown HS - populated with DuFief, Stone Mill, Travilah, Rosemont, and Fields Road, (with Fallsmead Rio island going to Crown)

- Wootton (at current location) - Fallsmead (without Rio island), Lakewood, Cold Spring, and Ritchie Park

- RM - Twinbrook, Beall, Bayard Rustin, and College Gardens

This scenario would help to alleviate the overcrowding at RM, focus on geographic proximity for filling Crown while keeping 3 of the Wootton cluster schools together at both current Wootton and Crown, and maximize walkers/minimize buses at Wootton.  Right now 100% of Ritchie Park kids are bussed to RM, but at least 60% could walk to Wootton.

I know Ritchie Park wanted to stay at JW and RM, but again, that is nonsensical from a boundary study perspective as well - at least one school in the RM cluster should/should have been moved to fulfill the original plan/promise to alleviate RM overcrowding and Ritchie Park makes the most sense from a geographic, minimizing buses perspective.[/quote]

There are not enough students for both Wootton and crown from the ES listed above. Churchill has to give some to make it work but Julie yang will not let that happen.[/quote]
Fallsgrove is very close to Crown, but it would suck for them to split off from the RM cluster after MS.

Same for if you send HH to Wootton - they would probably split after MS.[/quote]

Fallsgrove is closer to current Wootton than Crown. Most of Fallsgrove could walk to Wootton via Millenium Trail path down Wootton Pkwy. No reason to split up Ritchie Park and current middle schools could stay as is.[/quote]
