[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recognizing some of these names on the petition to move Wootton:

These families are from the Dufief and Stone Mill areas.

MCPS really should have just made it easy and have Crown High School pull from its immediate area and North Potomac area and then also make it a third county wide magnet type of program.  So have three regions instead of six for the regional programs.

[b]Then they could have moved Wayside to Wootton [/b]and maybe Ritchie Park, regardless of what families there want, to help with the portables issue at RM.[/quote]

This was proposed as an earlier option, but Churchill parents complained, threatened to sue, and Taylor caved in short order. Didn’t hear anyone on DCUM  saying that was inappropriate, but when Wootton parents do the same thing they’re wrong?

Guess what?  MCPS is subject to political pressure from anyone who can successfully bring it to bear.  If that doesn’t work, then litigation is often the next step. People here may think it’s a waste, but from everything I’ve read, the case has some merits - perhaps enough to get a preliminary injunction before any irreparable harm is caused to the Wootton community. Since Taylor already proposed using Crown as a holding school, he can’t complain that doing so temporarily would cause MCPS any irreparable harm while the litigation proceeds.[/quote]

Can you share more about the legal claim being made or the things you have read? I have also heard the rumblings about litigation but haven’t seen any details of the legal grounds on which this case would be made. [/quote]
