[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems to me MCPS' policy is to turn schools into parks when it thinks it doesn't need them, and then look at parks when it needs to build a school.  Maybe they need to do a better job of long range planning but at its core I don't see why that is such a bad approach (leaving aside the people who don't want to ever give up the park-that-was-a-school).

I'm sure I'll get flamed but, leaving traffic concerns aside, I think putting a school at NCC park would be a better use of that site.

It also seems odd to suggest that selecting Lynnbrook would mean "allowing a school to be built next to Lynnbrook park".  My guess is that if they put the school there they will need every inch of that site, and will have to regrade the entire site.

My thought was that the field at Lynnbrook would remain 'a field' if MCPS built on their own adjoining 3 parcels. The 5.8-acre Lynnbrook local park was acquired by M-NCPPC in 1948, so it existed as it does today, next to a school property for several decades. A Middle School would use the field as a field- so little change in its use and apperance. It would be preserved asn an open space. I contrast this to 'constructing a school in a park' .
