They had several candidate sites, both on and off the record.  None were overwhelmingly appealing, but [b]nobody was willing to kill sacred cows to think outside the box. [/b] Two that got publicized with all their deficiencies were the Washington Adventist property and the Discovery Communications building (not the main building, but, yes, a truly urban campus without fields, etc.).  That made them easy straw men, and they could then point to Woodward & Northwood as being far easier & cheaper.

But not more effective for lower-SES eastern down county.  Not providing reasonably similar facility service as that seen in other areas from a school system that pays high lip service to equity.  There's no reason we should expect that to change, either the rhetoric or the on-the-ground differential.[/quote]

Mixed metaphor alert...

Also, according to you, the options for MCPS options

1. Buy a property for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, then build a new building on it
2. Buy a different property for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, then build a new building on it, minus the amenities that every other high school in the county has
3. Build a new building on a property they already own

I'm astonished that they chose option 3. :roll: [/quote]

They could fund this by selling a few of underused but the expensive properties they own in Western Moco. [/quote]
