[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that there is 43!pages of Wootton complaining about getting a new HS along with other outside complaining about the same should tell the superintendent all he needs to know.  These people are unserious and clearly not in need of a new facility.  Start with Damascus and Magruder as the CIP proposes, move the boundaries to fill the school.  If that means Wootton is now split, then so be it.[/quote]

Why is the only serious way to demonstrate that Wootton needs renovation to close it and move students to Crown? No other school has been presented with such an extreme and unfair option. If this proposal were applied to other schools, the reaction would be immediate and overwhelmingly negative.

This thread has many trolls defending this option who are deeply invested as it effectively transfers the asset from other neighborhoods to their neighborhoods.

To some extent, too many active petitions from Wootton telling the media and public that their current school is unsafe for the last few months pushes MCPS to think outside of box to come out of this proposal option H. It is just one of the options, and Wootton should not completely blame MCPS on this. MCPS has no money, and it is a fact. MCPS wants to solve the urgent issues of renovating many schools to get them at least running (the minimum requirement) on the CIP list. [/quote]

It is true that Wootton needs some urgent fix because MCPS neglected the building for years. It is equally true that the Wootton community does not want to move. Responsibility for these conditions lies with MCPS, not with the families at Wootton.

Yet the narrative continues to place blame on Wootton while pushing relocation as the preferred solution. This approach ignores the root cause of the problem and unfairly shifts responsibility onto the very community that has been impacted by years of inaction.
