You mean thank your mcps for wasting your money, just like how they wasted more than 6+ million on the Supreme Court case.

Here we go with the irrelevant Supreme Court case again. Not precedent by a mile.

Can you read? Where in the comment did anyone say the SCOTUS case was precedent? Are you ok?

Someone said this will waste taxpayer money.

Someone else responded saying that’s a weird response considering Taylor wasted $6 million dollars to lose in Supreme Court.

Here we are with the "two wrongs make a right" argument again. It can be wrong for MCPS to take that case to the Supreme Court AND ALSO wrong for a small group of Wootton parents to waste taxpayer dollars on this lawsuit.

Wrong for MCPS to do all this in the most chaotic way so that they open themselves to lawsuit and thus waste taxpayers money

*FTFY

Wootton said their building was unsafe. MCPS responded by giving them a new building.

And trashed their neighborhood by abandoning an entire high school and leaving it vacant. Taylor won’t even mow the grass.

Many county school buildings have been closed/vacant and later re-opened - Woodward and Loiederman are two examples. Htw is that trashing the neighborhood? Rockshire Village Shopping Center has been vacant for years...that was/is a bigger blight than an empty school building.

I don’t think that’s an apples-to-apples comparison. Crofton was a traditional boundary line dispute, where courts tend to defer heavily to school systems.

The situation here raises different questions—about process, scope, and whether what’s being implemented goes beyond a standard redistricting decision.

That doesn’t guarantee any outcome, but it’s not accurate to assume the same dynamics apply.

I don’t get it. The building has mold, pipes bursting, no AC, no heat.

Brand spanking new school. What’s not to love? I don’t get it.

Why are the sueing? For what, so they can continue at the school that is a health hazard?

They'd rather send their kids to a school with mold than kids from Gaithersburg.

Kids from Gaithersburg have already been attending Wootton for decades.

There is no lawsuit and there probably won't be.

I hope they all go broke and the county strings it out for years while their kids go to a school full of mold and crappy utilities.

I am sure that ypu do not want students in any school going to a building with mold and crappy utilities. We have many students with this problem in the county. I don’t want anyone to have this problem

And Frost and Fallsmead teachers? OThis doesn’t impact them at all.

Strange take.

So true. As said before, almost every counselor left last year and all were easily replaced . This is in addition to all staff that left (about 40 others) MCPS is not worried what the teachers are thinking.

Let's be honest, even if MCPS did everything in the ideal process, there would still be people who would be mad enough to launch a lawsuit. If it wasn't the Parkway Parents, it would be the DuFief Dads.

In a cursory reviewing of previous lawsuits so far, I have yet to see a boundary study overturned by the courts. I've also been crazy enough to read MCPS Policy FAA and Policy ABA and they're written so vaguely that a violation is basically impossible given the steps MCPS did during the Boundary Study.

There was a case in Howard County, where it was found that at least one member violated the Open Meetings Act, and even that was upheld because it didn't change the outcome.

It seems like such a heavy lift for the state or the courts to intervene here.
