[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

OK, so the Crown school should never have been built.  Accepted.

But it IS there.  And the most appropriate thing for MCPS to do it to move the Wootton students to that building and change boundaries to reduce overcrowding in some schools.

You keep arguing an irrelevant point.[/quote]

So you think it’s okay for MCPS to allegedly lie and obfuscate?  So the ends justify the means. Got it. [/quote]

Not what I said.  What I am saying is how we got here is not relevant to where we go from here.  Feel free to "hold them accountable" and call it out and demand change and transparency from MCPS moving forward.

But the fact is that there IS a new building, a dilapidated building, and under-enrollment.  The question is what is the best way to handle it.[/quote]

It is what you said. You think it’s okay because we are where we are. That’s not how this works. A judge or the MD BOE could easily say that MCPS was either incompetent or malevolent - but in either case the Wootton community shouldn’t have to pay the price. [/quote]

So who should pay the price? Quite literally. Who is funding this? The entire county by way of insane tax hikes? Good luck, Chuck.[/quote]
