Board of Education approves the superintendent's recommendation
Latest updateAt the Board of Education meeting on Thursday, March 26, 2026, the Board voted to approve the superintendent's recommendation for the Woodward study, Crown study, and regional programs model together. Julie Yang voted against the recommendation, but a majority voted to approve all three resolutions.
In short, all Bells Mill students will attend Cabin John Middle School together and continue on to Churchill.
Wootton High School will be relocated to the new Crown Farm site.
