[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a certain level of out of touch that allows Wootton families to turn up their noses at a brand new building. Saying you'd rather stay in the disgusting conditions of your current school than move 3 miles away and/or share with other people, is really telling.[/quote]

It’s a certain level of out of touch to build a brand new school based on pre-Covid enrollment projections created 5 years earlier to justify not losing prime real estate in the heart of Crown. It’s almost like MCPS always planned to close Wootton the minute shovels hit the dirt, but didn’t want to say anything until it was too late. That would be consistent with the PP’s assertion that DEI is the reason for the Wootton closure. [/quote]

How does the timeline work?

Taylor's been superintendent for less than 2 years. The MCPS school board has 3 members elected in 2024 and another 2 in 2022. The Crown plans have been in motion since before a majority of the school board and superintendent have been in place.

Isn't the more likely scenario here that everyone involved took a new look at a situation that they inherited and decided that the best use of the new high school building was to move students and teachers from an unsafe, crumbling building and put them in a brand new building less than 4 miles away? There's no malevolent plot here, just people trying to do their best with a bad situation.

With perfect hindsight, Crown shouldn't have been built and that money invested in repairing many of the broken buildings in the county, but the die is cast.[/quote]
