[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the person who asked on the previous page what is going on--what decision has been made and why people are upset. I am trying to piece it together from your answers, but am struggling. It sounds like wootton is a long-existing high school that is in serious disrepair. The community there asked for help. The county put off repairing it, and now, in the recent boundary study, decided to close that school building entirely and send the kids who would have gone there to an existing school in Gaithersburg. Is that correct?[/quote]

Yes, this is correct. However, the people who live near the current Wootton building are furious (for a variety of reasons) and rather than accept the current state of affairs they want to delay/stop the entire process under the rationale something went wrong via the decision making process.

They think money will magically appear to fix the current building. So instead of accepting the decision and the new school they are being given, they want to block it. Despite the majority of the county being happy with this relocation to a new building. BTW Wootton infrastructure failed again this week with a water main break, kids were sent home. Hard to achieve that "academic excellence" when they keep cancelling instruction days...[/quote]
