[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wootton wasn't renovated because it has the highest Asian population within MCPS.

If anyone doesn't believe this, then go ahead and explain why other (newer) schools have been renovated - I'm interested to hear your version of events![/quote]

Where do you come up with this?[/quote]

Yet you didn't answer the question.  Provide one good reason.[/quote]
Overcrowded schools get revexed first.[/quote]

Oh, really?  Is that so?  Then please explain this:

*** SCHOOLS BY AGE ***
"10 schools in the county underwent major expansion and revitalization projects this past year, including the complete remodel of Seneca Valley. Having built in 1974, Seneca Valley is four years younger than this school. Seneca Valley supported a total of 1,226 students in the 2019-2020 school year while Wootton currently supports 2,134 students. Walt Whitman also recently underwent a 75,000 sq. ft expansion. This added 18 new classrooms to the school and was completed by the beginning of the 2021 school year."

*** SCHOOLS BY CAPACITY ***
https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/departments/publicinfo/Boundary_Analysis/interim-report/01_Introduction.pdf

According to Figure 1.2, Poolsville. Magruder, Rockville, and Wootton are undercapacity, with Magruder and Rockville at lower capacity than either Poolsville or Wootton.

*** MAGRUDER HS ***
"The County Council maintained the completion date for Col. Zadok Magruder HS of August 2027."
https://apps.montgomerycountymd.gov/BASISCAPITAL/Common/Project.aspx?ID=P652102

*** POOLESVILLE HS ***
"Poolesville HS have a scheduled completion date of August 2024."
https://apps.montgomerycountymd.gov/BASISCAPITAL/Common/Project.aspx?ID=P652102

"Poolesville High School was built in 1953 and renovated in 1978."
https://apps.montgomerycountymd.gov/BASISCAPITAL/Common/Project.aspx?ID=P136521

"The project is estimated to cost about $60 million, according to school district documents. It will increase Poolesville High’s capacity from 1,170 students to about 1,500 students."

Why would an undercapacity school need a renovation to increase seat capacity by 330 students?

*** ROCKVILLE HS ***
"Rockville HS, Built: 1968, Renovated: 2004"
https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/regulatoryaccountability/glance/currentyear/schools/04230.pdf

"The Board approved a series of facilities contracts and budget items, including architectural appointments for Rockville High School"
https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/press/index.aspx?pagetype=showrelease&id=109&type=all&startYear=&pageNumber=278&mode=

*** WOOTTON HS ***
"Broken toilets, leaky faucets, classrooms that are either too hot and stuffy, or freezing cold. Not to mention the decaying weight room and locker rooms in the basement of the school where only half the lights work and parts of the ceiling are missing. Portions of this school have not been touched since it was first built in 1970. That was over 50 years ago."

"Truth is incontrovertible, ignorance can deride it, panic may resent it, malice may destroy it, but there it is." Winston Churchill (a MCPS school renovated in 2001)[/quote]

Does anyone know when Wootton is getting renovated?[/quote]
