[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wootton is unsafe for multiple reasons.  Sounds like its a good move to shut it down.[/quote]

Some parents exaggerated. If it was so unsafe (beyond the current news cycle) it would have been closed already. Closing it down and moving kids to Crown only saves MCPS from the embarrassment of building a school based on pre COVID enrollment projections and having to use it as a holding school. The Gaithersburg mayor said the quiet part out loud when he opposed using Crown as a holding school. That won’t attract high income earners to his city, so naturally he wants to transplant the Wootton kids. [/quote]

There are multiple issues and I doubt parents are exaggerating as many of the schools have serous issues.  However, who would send their kids to Wootton after all the problems?[/quote]

So if many schools have the same issues (or are worse off) why aren’t those schools closed or being moved?  Wootton parents are oissed at not getting a renovation many years at their current site. Wootton shouldn’t have to be closed, have its boundaries changed, and be moved to a new city in order to eventually get a new building.

This is all to cover for MCPS’ screw up and its desire not to use a shiny new building as a holding school. [/quote]

Wootton is the high school in the worst shape in the entire county, per the actual data[/quote]

And that’s the reason for closing it, moving the boundaries, adding 700 new students from other high schools, and changing the name to Wootton @ Crown (instead of Thomas Wootton High School)?  If Wootton is the worst in the county, why wasn’t it repaired last year, or the year before that?  Why was it pulled off the CIP three different times?  MCPS hasn’t answered any of these questions, and doesn’t want to answer them. [/quote]

Add students to an underutilized school? The horror![/quote]

It’s not Wootton if you’ve changed the boundaries and are adding 30%+ more kids from other schools. Tell me again when another MCPS school was closed, moved, had a boundary change, and 30%+ kids added all at the same time?[/quote]
