[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all of those people screaming it’s not fair for Fields Road, Rosement et al. to go to school with others as a holding school:

1. Your own mayor of Gaithersburg was the one who proposed G and talked it up. EF were presented by MCPS to mayor Jud before it went live. Jud said he said down with Gburg community members, including Field Road advocates, and came up with G.
2. Magruder is pretty small HS. You can take Fields, Rosemont, Rio island, and hell even all of Dufief, since they want to go to Crown so badly. You will have a community and cohort with those 4 communities during and after Magruder uses Crown as a holding school. Then when Magruder is done, mcps can rezone how they see fit.[/quote]

If buying a home doesn't dictate what school you go to, I'm not sure I see why people are so concerned about the Rosemont and Fields Road communities if the Crown site is used as a holding school.

Has there ever been a case of two separate high schools sharing a building?

When they moved into their homes it was a given that their areas would feed into Quince Orchard or Gaithersburg and for the Crown residents, that they'd eventually be assigned to Crown when it eventually opened.

Using Crown as a holding school while the other schools get renovated doesn't change anything other then they'll get the Crown High School a little bit later.

With option H, it's basically the same issue for the families off of Wootton Parkway.  They'd be driving past a high school building that was previously assigned to their area and [b]they thought they were buying into to go to another building[/b], while the nearby building is used as a holding school.  So if people are concerned about the Rosemont and Fields Road families, it should be the same for the Wootton Parkway families.

Crown High Schools is at a better/more central location, unoccupied and new.  And would make the better holding school out of the two buildings.[/quote]
Buying a house in a specific cluster does not guarantee that your kids will go to that HS.  School districts make boundary changes; neighborhoods get reassigned to a different school.  This happens everywhere in the country.  That's not a valid argument.[/quote]
