No, we recognize that most of the save Wootton don’t actually represent the real school community and are selfish. They demanded a new school building, got one and are still complaining. They don’t care about the health and safety of the students or staff at all.

How can we expect MCPS to make progress when every move is met with a lawsuit? You say you don't want more "status quo" but then when they try to change things, you sue. What's the story? Is it just that you want YOUR status quo while OTHER PEOPLE make/absorb changes? Help me understand.

Good luck! Just remember that a bunch of changes are going to happen after this; elementary school / middle school boundary studies are coming up and closures are on the table. DuFief in particular may be at risk.
My advice is also not to get too attached to high schools if your kids are young; everything can change while they grow up and if it ends up being an issue, you can always move or figure out an alternative. My kid got into Poolesville, so our high school boundary ended up not mattering at all.
Except Poolesville and all the other programs won’t be available in the future. Another great decision by MCPS.
Also there’s a lawsuit coming too to fight the regional program.
MCPS sure loves lawsuits

Wootton is such a PICK ME. Relax girl.. you're moving to a new school soon.

How noble that after your entire family has attended from the school system, you are OK with it being dismantled. Thank you for sharing.
Read the post. They have a Wootton student and they want kids and staff in a new health building.
Even if that means they'll be with kids from Fields Road?
Last I checked Wootton students were FAR more dangerous than Fields Rod students. Data is your friend--look it up.
They ignore all the safety incidents.

The select few are the loudest so they are giving the impression everyone is against it when it’s not true.
Right…and that’s why hundreds of families have donated. Trolls on DCUM have lost touch with reality because they are too far up TT’s butthole.
If you really have hundreds of families, get those families to lobby the people who can make a difference; there's elections this year and they can help elect County Council + BoE members to overturn the decision.
What did you say it was before? 200 families each donating $5000? If you can organize that well, that's the difference between a win and a loss for BoE members.
We all need to stand together and get rid of the BOE and County Council but that’s a separate issue. Why do direct donations but be unwilling to share the real data? How many actual families want this!

"Hundreds"? Ok, then, seems like you either need to get a grip on reality or basic math facts.
Sure sure, keep sticking your head in the sand. You have no idea how many Wootton families are fighting this. Hundreds is not an estimate. It’s a fact.
I doubt that looking at the meetings. Most didn’t even look like Mcps parents.

Then I guess "hundreds" of Wootton families are actually dumber than I realized. SHAAAAAAME. Onward!
