[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about properly allocating resources, 19:56?  You are a shameless BFES apologist.[/quote]

What do you mean by "properly allocating resources", specifically? How do you think that resources should be allocated? What should MCPS have done with BFES?[/quote]

Not PP but will respond to your question with a question. Should the county, in a supposed money saving move, have delayed construction in other clusters that were severely overcrowded and getting worse but move forward with a new school for Beverly Farms? That is what happened. The same year they moved forward with construction at Beverly Farms, the county delayed construction of a 5th elementary school to relieve overcrowding in the Richard Montgomery cluster. This despite a recommendation from the education board to move forward with construction of the 5th elementary school. [b]Why should resources have been allocated to Beverly Farms but relief delayed for the Richard Montgomery cluster (or others that are overcrowded).[/b] True, the county has to prioritize but why prioritize a school below capacity over one that is way over? BTW, the 5th elementary school for the Richard Montgomery cluster has yet to be built. After further delays, it is slated to be complete in 2018. But that's not guaranteed. [/quote]

Because there are other reasons for renovating a building, besides over capacity. For example, if the building is in bad shape. What shape was the Beverly Farms building in? It was over 40 years old and had never been renovated, right?[/quote]
