[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was on my high school debate team and will entertain this ridiculous deflection with the knowledge that you literally own a debate school so I know your calculated move here: No, I am not MAGA but also not suing the federal government because I don't like what they are doing. I'm voting against them and encouraging others to do the same just as you should do with elected officials you are unhappy with. As for TT, he's going to be here for a while. [/quote]
Doesn’t matter if it’s TT and MCPS or the federal government, all governmental bodies should be held accountable. Of course you don’t sue governmental bodies simply because you don’t like what they are doing. You sue because they are breaking the law.

This isn’t mutually exclusive either. Why is the choice sue or vote.

It’s sue and vote. [/quote]

Because suing won't get the Parkway Parents what they want, it'll at best delay and even that is a heavy lift. Also, I've yet to see a plausible claim that MCPS / BoE broke the law or failed to follow Policy FAA, but I guess we'll have to see what the law firm comes up with.

Voting in a slate of BoE / County Council members that will prioritize rebuilding Wootton on the Parkway is the only permanent solution for the "Save Wootton" folks. For people who are more annoyed by the process rather than the result, vote in BoE members who promise to run the next boundary study in a way you think it should have been done.

P.S. As mentioned before, it sucks that MCPS let the state of the Parkway building get to where it is now (and other buildings too). It sucks that MCPS ended up building a brand new building using enrollment projections that ended up being off by a lot for a variety of reasons. However, I'm not here to litigate past decisions.

As it stands, we have a crumbling building on one hand, a brand new building in another and a county that has fiscal constraints and falling enrollment. It just makes the most sense to move Wootton into Crown.[/quote]
