[quote=Anonymous]Well, I do think there is building consensus (certainly on this board) that MCPS has been less than forthcoming and competent. And yes, Lynnbrook is THE 800 pound gorilla in the room.

But I also think RCH will be chosen, and I agree with many other posters, that not many people outside of the small group in Kensington are against the choice. It may not be the greatest location for the middle school, but there is also a great deal of animosity towards that community because of how they have handled themselves in public and media. It is a shame and to their detriment that their messages have been so mixed. I am not even sure they support parks for anyone other than themselves. Some expressed support and a desire to move it to NCC or even Norwood, what does that say? My park is sacrosanct but not yours...kids need parks, but not your kids.

I think parkland should not be considered as unused or vacant or expendable. The importance of parks cannot be overstated. And ultimately, we will all lose if parks start being considered as the only choices for school construction. How can you explain that both SSAC's came up with two final choices that are parks again? Let's not even consider the private sites which I am sure will amount to no more than little ducks farting in the wind.

I think Mr. Crispell (Chevy Chase resident?) and his voting block made it very clear which direction to hoist their sails.[/quote]
