[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Truth is, Magruder could use Crown or Wootton as a holding school if they ever get funding. It just looks better to team up with a larger group and of course an opportunistic politician would take that and run with it.[/quote]

No this is just wrong.

Using Wootton as a holding school means Magruder has to wait for Wootton to get on CIP and Magruder to get onto CIP. We have no idea how long this will take.

Using Crown as a holding school means we have a ready to go school now, not a hypothetical tomorrow. Moreover, if Crown is the holding school, there will be even more impetus to get Magruder to the CIP faster, as no one wants a brand new school under utilized. Not to mention Crown is way more accessible. From Magruder to Crown by actual transportation and traffic not just distance, Crown off of 270 is substantially better than going down Wootton Parkway, which is one lane for both directions.

Full disclosure: I am a Magruder parent with my oldest in middle school, soon to be high school. If the recommendation goes forward, and Wootton becomes the holding school, there is no chance my oldest will attend a functional school. My youngest, still in elementary school, likely also will attend a run down school that is an accident waiting to happen.

Move Magruder to Crown right now.[/quote]
