๐Ÿšจ Wootton High School Rebuild Excluded Again from MCPS Capital Plan

October 2025 โ€ข Wootton Cluster Update

The Superintendentโ€™s proposed FY2027 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) once again excludes the long-overdue replacement of Thomas S. Wootton High School โ€” a major setback for one of Montgomery Countyโ€™s highest-achieving and most diverse communities.

Despite Woottonโ€™s academic excellence, its facility is in some of the worst condition in the county, with persistent leaks, aging infrastructure, and HVAC and plumbing failures. The community continues to advocate for inclusion in the MCPS Capital Plan to ensure a safe, modern learning environment for students and staff.


Key Facts
  • Facility Condition Index (FCI): 0.624 โ€” 2nd worst among all MCPS high schools
  • Only high school rated โ€œPoorโ€ for both HVAC and Plumbing systems
  • Frequent leaks, ceiling damage, and HVAC failures reported by staff and students
  • No major renovation since the building opened in 1970
  • Originally scheduled for completion in 2021 โ€” removed from the CIP twice

๐Ÿ“ฃ MCCPTA Delegate Update: MCPS Secondary Program Analysis & Boundary Planning

MCPS timeline slide: What's Next

Our MCCPTA delegate attended the most recent countywide meeting and shared an update on MCPSโ€™s ongoing Secondary Program Analysis โ€” a countywide effort to review and redesign how specialized programs such as magnet, IB, STEM, language immersion, visual & performing arts, and career technical education are offered across schools.

The goal is to create a new six-region model that expands access to advanced academic and career pathways for all students. These program changes will directly inform the upcoming boundary studies that determine which students attend which schools.

MCPS says the timeline must move quickly to align with the openings of Crown High School and Woodward High School in 2027โ€“2028. The district needs time to plan staffing, transportation, and enrollment before these schools open.

However, many community members and the MCCPTA resolution are urging MCPS to slow down โ€” allowing for more research, transparency, and community input before final decisions are made on both program placement and boundaries.
