[quote=Anonymous]I heard that the Jan. 25 meeting of the BCC Middle School Site Selection Committee on Jan. 25 was "interesting.”

For those in attendance, or on the committee, any feedback on the errors and omissions by MCPS planning staff?  From what I have heard, it seems like MCPS staff have provided the committee with erroneous or misleading information – that they only correct or clarify once members of the public (or other county/state agencies) prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that MCPS is in error.  It is troubling that the committee has been provided so much erroneous information and so many issues are not resolved.  I would have thought that MCPS should have spent loads of time preparing its briefing materials in the months since superintendent starr announced the reset of the process.  It is somewhat embarrassing that even in the second round MCPS seems incapable of briefing the committee in an authoritative and unbiased way.  I fear that no location will be selected - or even if a good location is chosen - the obvious errors in the process will hand any adversely affected community a great argument that the process was broken at the inception - indefinitely delaying any second middle school.  This is really the only context where MCPS has to deal with other agencies and cannot ignore inconvenient facts – I guess they are not used to having to prove their case.

Should Starr press the reset button again and perhaps some grown ups to do the research and present real proposals to the public?
