You must be from DC most of the school systems in the country to not use holding schools. Holding schools only make sense when you live in an urban area and changing schools is just a few blocks and in many urban areas school enrollment has been on the decline for decades so they have plenty of empty schools to use.

Here in the suburbs we have the opposite problem. A) most of the schools are overfilled. Ironically Crown won't fix the schools that actually need more space. B)Having parents drive many miles in dense suburban traffic is highly inconvenient.

So yes. It may be administratively convenient to repair the schools, but they are making it inconvenient for many of the families involved, because this school system is not a dense urban school system.

Just administrative laziness on top of administrative incompetence with a healthy dose of mixed incentives bordering on fraud.

This is why phased renovations make sense. Taylor wants to avoid this by grabbing Wootton’s current building. He can remediate its issues relatively cheap. This is why he’s been quiet about what he plans to do with it. If this were publicly known, the Wootton pushback would be even louder and Option H would be DOA.

It’s not relatively cheap. If it is fundraise and do it.

Why? MCPS is funded by taxes. But if fundraising is required, I’m asking you to donate to a good cause. It’s for the children after all…

The taxpayers have a different school for you. If you insist on turning it down, pay for your own renovations.

But boundaries can still change.

The taxpayers don’t. That school was built for Gaithersburg kids. Why do you hate them so much? Boundaries can change, but there won’t be a need to change Wootton’s boundaries if Crown goes to the Gaithersburg kids to whom it was promised and the excess used for a holding school. Or do you hate Damascus and Magruder kids too?

Talk about bring elitist.

You keep saying this, but GHS, Wootton, QO, RM, and Northwest were always part of the Crown discussion.

Why? Because it’s your school and important to you. In all the time you spend here you could do a fundraiser.

It’s important to the kids who attend Wootton on Wootton Parkway. It’s their school. Won’t you think of the children? Or do they need to be Oliver Twist and beg you for more gruel? Will you hit them with a ladle if they do?
