Rockville families are ramping up their fight to keep Thomas S. Wootton High School in their community ahead of a consequential vote next week.

The Montgomery County Public Schools board is expected to decide on the future of Wootton — and several other campus boundary lines — at its March 26 meeting.

If the board approves , students who expected to attend Wootton will instead go to a newly constructed campus in Gaithersburg, about three miles away.

In the view of many Wootton parents, this move would needlessly uproot their children from a hub at the center of their community. At a Tuesday news conference, they threatened legal action as they questioned the district’s process, timeline and data.
