[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be clear, Dr. Taylor when first floating the possibility of Crown as a holding school said it might be a terrible idea. MCPS authorized the study that confirmed it was in fact a terrible idea. That some from Wootton and Macgruder latched onto this idea does not make it any less terrible or less studied. [/quote]

No. MCPS authorized an independent third party study on using Crown as a holding school and concluded Crown would make the “ideal holding school”.

No such study had ever been done on Wootton. TT also went and pitched Crown as a holding school to Magruder, and pulled the rug from under both communities.[/quote]

Adding to PP, here’s the conclusion from that 3rd party review:

Crown HS’s location in the center of the county offers an ideal opportunity for a secondary swing that can benefit several secondary schools. Of the initial 50 schools on which MCPS performed FCIs that have identified capital and infrastructure needs, five are within a 20-minute drive of Crown HS, with others just outside. The five within the 20-minute drive time include: Gaithersburg MS, Redland MS, Magruder HS, Wootton HS, and Robert Frost MS. Just outside are Eastern MS, Newport Mill MS, White Oak MS, Sligo MS, and Damascus HS. Off-site swing spaces will have to be catered to the specific type of school building.”

No study has ever been done on Wootton. No viability study, no financial feasibility study, no impact analysis, nothing.
