What about the decision making process was illegal according to the folks who have retained the lawyers?


They don't expect to win on the merits. They want to try to delay things long enough to convince MCPS that it is easier to give in. It is easier to implement policies that affect poor kids because their parents don't have money to throw at lawyers.


And the rest of us HATE the Wootton families already, for wasting money needed for things other than legal fees on this nonsense: you wanted a new school, you got a new school. It's just 3 miles down the road, so get over yourselves and stop wasting our tax dollars

I don’t have a dog in the fight but I can see why some parents are upset, and they have every right to file a lawsuit. Good for them!

Just let this play out. Dont know why yall are so bothered all the time.


I think many of us are bothered that these people keep crying about mismanagement of money and then do crap like this that forces MCPS to further waste money. What's worse is that they KNOW this is a loser of a case and just intend to drag it out and force the county to spend more. It makes them look terribly selfish and furthers the belief that they don't give a rat's ass about any kids except their own who, not for nothing, aren't actually being harmed.

If you look at the save Wootton leadership it’s not even Wootton current to soon to be families.


No, it’s people concerned about their property values. That’s it.


Who controls the slush fund they've been collecting? I don't see any names listed.
