Option H Is a Fiscal, Operational, and Planning Mistake (Opinion) - Moderately MOCO January 19, 2026 โ€“ Adam Van Grack is a Councilmember for the City of Rockville who attended Montgomery County Public Schools graduating from Ritchie Park Elementary School, Frost Middle School, and Ri...

When evaluated using adopted housing growth plans, student-yield rates, capital cost data, transportation geography, and operational risk, MCPS's Option H is internally inconsistent and fiscally inefficient. [Thank you to @moderatelymoco.bsky.social]

One of my holiday wishes? Keeping Wootton High School on Wootton Parkway. The Wootton Community does not need to be sacrificed to solve MCPS's capacity or budget challenges. Read why closing Wootton High School fails students, families, and Rockville. montgomeryperspective.com/2025/12/26/v...

Community members urge Montgomery County leadership to rebuild Wootton High School Community members are urging Montgomery County officials to rebuild Thomas S. Wootton High School in Rockville. The renewed request comes ahead of an important vote scheduled for later this week.

The dangerous conditions of Wootton High School put our children's health & safety at risk. Last night, I was proud to stand with students & parents to advocate for help within the MCPS budget.

Thank you to from @fox5dc.com.web.brid.gy for listening. www.fox5dc.com/news/communi...
