Or, Parkway parents could accept a brand new HS and not waste taxpayer money via a lawsuit against the school district for making the most fiscally responsible decision based on the current situation.

Or Parkway parents could send their kids to private schools.

Or Parkway parents could continue to choose to send their kids to a school that is falling apart.[/quote]

Yo, let's chill. This attitude was the same that landed MCPS before the Supreme Court, which it then lost and now owes millions in dollars. [/quote]

Do the Save Wootton people have the money for a lawsuit? Like they are paying out of their own pocket for this? Why don't they just use that money to start a fund to renovate Wootton on the Parkway? Because they ain't getting on the CIP for a reno. Save your money for the right things, people.[/quote]

Some lucky law firm about to make some good chunk of change with no chance of changing anything. [/quote]

Or maybe MCPS will end up paying the plaintiff’s legal fees. It had to pay $1.5M in the case that went to the Supreme Court.

What’s Taylor’s plan if there is an injunction?  Crown as a holding school?  If so, he could avoid spending $$$ on litigation and just offer that option for now, then take the time to really study whether it makes sense to transplant Wootton into Crown. [/quote]

MCPS to supply 'refrigerator curriculum' in response to ...

In a major 2025 ruling (Mahmoud v. Taylor), the U.S. Supreme Court sided with parents against Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), ruling that the district likely violated religious freedom by denying opt-outs for elementary lessons on LGBTQ+ books. The case forced a reinstatement of opt-out rights, and by early 2026, MCPS agreed to a $1.5M settlement. Nothing comparable but folks want to burn money...they should definitely go ahead [/quote]

That case and this is case are completely different. Good luck. [/quote]

It’s demonstrative of MCPS’ “devil may care” attitude towards both the rules it must follow and “the good advice you just didn’t take”. Here, MCPS has received plenty of feedback showing it the error of its ways, but ITV’s plowing ahead anyway. If it won’t listen to numerous communities who will be affected negatively, it will have to listen to a judge who leaves it no choice.  Unfortunately, this will cost MCPS more money it claims it doesn’t have. [/quote]

What are the expected negative affects?[/quote]

This is the great Wootton academic excellence that folks are trying to preserve and protect! Affect / effect. Welp! [/quote]

Academics aside it has had some serious issues. [/quote]
