[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pipes breaking could happen anywhere - could just as easily be shoddy worksmanship in the new construction as worn out infrastructure in the old sections.  Bummer for the students and teachers![/quote]

Do you realize how bad condition some of the schools are.  Yes, it could happen anywhere but they should have used this as an opportunity to make needed repairs and fix new or old infrastructure.  [/quote]

This.  MCPS has millions of dollars to spend on bocce and the Kid Museum, while so many of our schools are in terrible condition.  [/quote]

Yikes, Bocce and the Kid Museum, becoming the latest post on every thread!  Maybe it would make a good band name???  [/quote]

Do you disagree with the point behind the comment?

MCPS has a finite amount of money in the budget.  If money is spent on one thing (eg Bocce or the Kid Museum), that means there will be less money for other things (eg updating buildings/infrastructure).

So, it seems reasonable to wonder why MCPS chose to spend millions of dollars on bocce and the Kid Museum, when it is a well-known fact that many MCPS buildings need attention.

What exactly do you disagree with?[/quote]

NP. It's just an odd argument in this *particular* thread when the school in question was redone just a few years ago (the students were in a holding school for a year etc). Agreed that priorities can seem out of whack in general, like all the new executives they are hiring. [/quote]
