[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the MCPS superintendant initially came out in favor of  the Rock Creek Hills site, right? I know they had to re-do the process because they didn't meet all the regs the first time around, but I've always kind of figured that it would come back to the initial decision. However, the RCH families are beyond nutty about this and they will fight tooth and nail to keep the school out. Of course, so did the Rosemary Hills neighborhood. I still don't get the aversion to having a school in their neighborhood that would educate their children. And I think RCH is giving the neighborhood a really bad name with its resistance; we're at a feeder elementary for the new middle school and there's a lot of eyerolling about it all. This idea that somehow southern Kensington should be a nature preserve with no school buses sullying its precious side streets is pretty ridiculous. They've got a million excuses to rationalize the opposition but it all comes down to NIMBY. [/quote]

That's kind of how I feel about the Coffield site too, though.  It's obvious the school is going to end on some site that is currently used as a park (hey there's one in my neighborhood I think they should look at), so the idea that the Parks Dept. is going to veto some sites but not others seems a little odd to me-- it's all still Montgomery county public employees right?[/quote]
