Actually I have questions about H and regional magnets. Under any other option A-F, Crown (with its state-of-the-art labs) is in region 5. Under H, Crown/Wootton (whatever you call it) is under region 4.

How do we feel about option H handing a brand new amazing STEM centric school to a region that is already well-resourced over the under-resourced Gaithersburg community that is also overcrowded.

Do we care that Option H completely screws over Gaithersburg?



For all the people who say they are pro H to diversify Wootton, please do tell—how can you support an option that “steals” a school meant for a community of lower income and less resourced and hands it over to the privileged folks of Rockville and Potomac?


The cognitive dissonance doesn't make sense. Either Wootton is rich and privileged - doesn't deserve a new building, or Wootton is being given a "gift" that it should be forced to take for the good of MCPS. Which is it?


It's really not that complicated once you stop being deliberately obtuse. While people might disagree on relative priority, most would agree Wootton is nearing the end of its functional lifespan and will soon need a major renovation or to be rebuilt.

The people opposed to H don't want to stick with current Wootton building. They instead want MCPS to build them a school that the district doesn't actually need because they think it will help their property values.


A lot of schools are on a similar situation. They act like they have the worst school and they don’t.

So let’s say we give Wootton this brand new school. Again for the countless time: do we care or don’t care that H moves Crown/Wootton to region 4? Do we care or don’t care that this would give all the brand new, state of art labs and resources to Rockville and Potomac residents (Wootton, Churchill, RM) when this was supposed to be for under-resourced yet over populated Gaithersburg?

PP, by your own logic, MCPS is giving H to “privileged” parents of Wootton. How do you feel about the entire Gaithersburg community losing access to Crown, when every other option A-G gives Crown to Region 5?

Is Crown supposed to host the STEM program in Region 5?


Yes, in options A-G, according to MCPS Crown is to host region 5’s STEM program. Wootton is supposed to do the same for region 4. So in option H, Crown becomes Wootton and is given to region 4. Region 5 gets screwed in H.


Do tell social justice warriors. Is H good if it takes Crown away from region 5 and gives it to region 4?


Supposedly this is the real reason why Churchill is very happy. Option H changes nothing about Churchill boundaries, but it gives Churchill access to a brand new state-of-the-art labs. There was no other way for Churchill to access labs without forcing Wootton to Crown.


Interesting how ever since someone pointed out that H turns Crown into region 4 and hands all its brand new resources to Churchill, Wootton, RM, etc., the pro H crowd has been silent…

What happened to the whole anti W schools/pro H trolls? Did they just realize that H actually gives more advantages to both Winston Churchill HS and Wootton HS.

This is before Option H, but has it at Gaithersburg?

All other options have Crown in 5.

Option H plainly shows Crown/Wootton is transferred to 4: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1645soUgcpJOZ4cH8qfKx4Wl-EH8KNIoO/view?usp=drivesdk


No, I mean Gaithersburg HS is supposed to host the Region 5 STEM program.


Sorry should’ve said a STEM not the STEM program. Crown is slated to host the Medical Healthcare program at Region 5 in all options but H. In H, Crown/Wootton is moved to Region 4. All of Region 5 (basically the Gaithersburg community) lose access to Crown’s state-of-the-art labs and facilities.

Not PP. It’s both. Wootton is being given something it doesn’t want. Gaithersburg is losing something it wants and was promised.


Simple solution. Wootton stays and waits their turn for a major refurbishment.

Ah, so screaming at people on an anonymous message board is equivalent to giving your perspective to the BOE - you know, the ones who actually make the decision?

If you didn't bother to show up, then you can't complain about those people who did. Calling them whiners and complainers is irrelevant. They don't care what you think. They only care what the BOE thinks.

So feel free to post here multiple times a day if it makes you feel better (or superior to Wootton families). If that's the case, then you should seek professional help. Or better yet, just go back to work.


And yet you can constantly post here.

This is simply a lie. it doesn’t take 10 minutes when it’s not rush hour. There is no way you did it in 10 at this time unless you were breaking the law in every possible way.


Mapquest at 5:43 said 11 minutes,



I live walkable to Wootton-I just did waze and it says 18 minutes. hmmm.


And bussing is not driving your own car. It has many stops and detours to pick up the neighborhood kids which adds more time. We’re less than 10 min driving distance from our school but the bus comes at 45 min before school start time to pick up.


Oh I agree with you 100%. My response was for the pp who is saying she got to Crown in 10 minutes from Wootton by car during this time which is…impossible. That’s the only point I was trying to make. I am absolutely aware that it will take a considerably longer time when the kids are on the bus. It’s absurd that
H is even an option.


If kids who can normally walk to school now have to wake up 30–45 minutes earlier to catch a bus, that’s a significant burden especially since high schoolers already start their days so early.


So, everyone should be a 5-10 minute walk from high school because riding a bus is an unreasonable burden?

Not everyone, but for the current walkers it is additional burden


It's not really a "burden" if it's normal for other kids. This is just another example of Wootton parents believing they deserve special treatment.


Which other schools that walkers are converted to bussers in this boundary study???


The trolls here are very unreasonable anyway. No other schools have walkers converted to bussers, let alone all walkers of the school . Yet they claim Wootton wants special treatment. We’re getting “special treatment”, as only our school gets closed.


You act like riding a bus is some horrible offense, completely oblivious to all the kids who currently do it.


You act like it’s no big deal to change Walker zone to bus zone. People specifically want to be walkers. If they’re ok with bussing they would not have to buy at walk zone. Do this to any other school and see how they react.



ask the Seneca Valley / Clarksburg parents - they were incredibly upset during their boundary study - changes were made and they were very upset - few years have past and all is well - this to shall my pass


They're still pissed.
