This is going to have significant impact on MCPS. I predict:

- Expect more school closures. Taylor already said this but we can't sustain the number of schools with the conditions they are in
- Expect class sizes to go up again. As buildings are closed and boundaries are reshaped, class sizes will go up.
- Teachers shouldn't expect raises for a while. They got them in the last budget cycle and they probably won't get another raise for 3 years at least.
- Programs will be cut. Not sure which ones, but with federal and state funding disappearing, some services in MCPS also have to go away.[/quote]

Yes. Related to various things going on, I think fiscal pressures and enrollment decline make it likely that:
- Crown will be a holding school
- A few of the ESs on the CIP will not be funded for renovation/replacement[/quote]

I think the Crown outcome is really up in the air. The City of Gaithersburg is throwing its weight around, and they donated the land specifically for a new school. I think if it is a holding school, it has to be one for a finite time in the same way that Woodward is serving for Northwood.

I also think it could be that Wootton becomes the new Crown, but then many legacy neighborhoods will no longer have access to Wootton, which will cause quite a bit of uproar.

Really, it comes to down to who MCPS is more comfortable with pissing off: Rockville or Gaithersburg. I think MCPS would choose Rockville over Gaithersburg, but it's going to be a nasty fight with some serious wounds along the way.[/quote]

What does Rockville have to do with this?  Wootton isn't in Rockville.  Though, it would have been nice had they taken some of the Rootten kids and balance the RM kids over to Rockville, so we don't have a double standard school system in Rockville. [/quote]

You didn't even know Wootton was in Rockville, yet smearing children ("rooten kids")?  Why are you even commenting?  Just to embarrass yourself?

Let me guess.  Are you one of the Hungerford 'friends and family' crowd who were banking on sending their kids to Crown through redistricting?  Or one of the 'Kings Farm I don't wanna go to Gaithersburg HS' parents?[/quote]
They are mostly trolls who have no kids in MCPS [/quote]

You mean like the MCPS staff that like to post here?[/quote]
No, I mean folks like you.[/quote]
