[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Buckle up: with one testimonial online ahead of Thursday's meeting from someone who wants to provide the BOE with an "expert critique" of Option H, it's sure to be a wild ride. This gentleman, who apparently has a PhD in Educational Policy (kudos to him?) seems to not understand what is happening or how money works. He says, "My research shows that high school stability is a primary driver of postsecondary success." First of all, bruh, pretty sure all research says that. Second, Option H keeps your cluster fully intact just in a different building. Teachers are the same, although probably healthier and happier and all your kids are with their precious friends. He goes on to not understand, "why Wootton alone was selected for full-school relocation". Once again, my man, MCPS was trying to throw Wootton a bone here since y'alls aren't slated for meaningful renovation for at least 10+ years. Then comes my favorite, the money. He wants to know what the net difference is between closing Wootton ($0) and repairing (ranging from 40M for some "minor" repairs to 300M for a full rebuild). Thoughts an prayers for Thursday.[/quote]

I think you're showing a little bit too much bias against people who are against Option H.

Remember, the people who are saying this is the best option for Wootton families and financial sense for the county are taking things at face value.

It's very likely and should be that Fields Road ES should go to Crown too.  And as the speaker noted with all of the development going on and proposed development, there's a good chance that Crown would be overcapacity in the next several years. So there will need to be realignment again and it's entirely possible that a current Wootton feeder gets squeezed out.

All options are on the table and there can be more new recommendations that come out in the next several weeks.  So a lot of the people complaining, don't have faith that it's a simple pick up the entire Wootton population put them at the Crown location.

I do agree it will be a wild ride to see what goes on in the next couple of weeks.[/quote]
