[quote=Anonymous][quote]I used to live in East Bethesda and the dream of a new elementray school at Lynbrook has been around for years and years and years. 
They need to give up that dream. [code]

Yes, they do need to give up that dream. Why was that school property voted off so quickly and without a fair discussion? It may be the only real option for new school construction at this point. It is not too small, especially if MCPS gets creative in their feasibility study, which they are known to do. Parks are off the table, except in cases where the is a reclaim right, but RCH will be taking this to court so I suppose that could delay things indefinitely. I am not sure why MCPS persists in their greedy land grab from parks, while continuing to under use and fritter away the school properties they already own.

A close examination of the various leased properties within the cluster should be undertaken.

Lynnbrook should be under real scrutiny and consideration, as should Westland, though that would be less attractive to those who live too far away and don't want a huge school. Though why couldn't a 6th grade academy work on the Lynnbrook property, or even the old Rollingwood property? Why do we persist in the notion that in the 21st century when open land is scarce we need to build a big sprawling school?

Maybe I am naive and it has taken me a few years but I am starting to think that MCPS is wasteful, arrogant, and greedy.
