[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Yeah how dare people ask questions or show any concern for their school. Why do you even care? You clearly don’t live in the cluster by the language you are using to describe what’s going on. [/quote]

Give us your solution as your hostility and negativity are a huge problem.  [/quote]

I see the “what’s your solution “ poster is still here. &lt;marks bingo card&gt;

Wootton families have presented their solution, and it’s been repeated here numerous times, but you don’t like it.[/quote]

You haven't presented any solutions.  You are demanding MCPS put Wootton to the front of the line for repairs and that's not ok and there is no money for it.[/quote]

You keep saying this-but that’s not at all what is happening. Wootton isn’t asking to be in the front of the line on the CIP-it’s asking for the emergency items to be fixed ONLY. This is the same thing the other schools that are in just as bad of shape and the ONE that is worse should also be demanding. And the no money thing-they somehow find the money  for other things. They find the money when something happens and closes a school like a flood-they can do it. [/quote]

And, they are in line for emergency fixes and higher up than other schools, who may need it more.  If a school floods, you want them to leave the school flooded, so your school can have that money instead for repairs?  Wooton has gotten regular updates including new bathrooms and paint, more than other schools.

Those repairs are millions, MCPS doesn't have it due to mismanagement.  You want a safe school, take Crown.[/quote]
