[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. It is not the school board's job to care or even consider property values.  Their job is to oversee those educating children.  Full stop.

2. The Wootton families are forcing MCPS to spend our tax dollars defending this frivolous lawsuit.  I hope  sanctions are placed on the plaintiffs, including ordering them to pay the other side's attorney's fees and legal cost[/quote]

1.  LOL The school board’s entire job is to consider property values. It’s how they get the cash they love to waste.  Property taxes are their bread and butter.

2.  Can we get sanctions against Taylor for wasting tax dollars on his frivolous EV lawsuit?  Make him pay for the other side’s attorney fees out of his personal account?  [/quote]

1. The goal is to provide a quality education to each child in the county.  This has the effect of increasing property values ACROSS THE COUNTY that creates revenue.  And it certainly isn't their job to care about any particular small neighborhood's property values.  Maybe, the aggregate for the whole county, but not one neighborhood.  And there is no reason to believe that this change will affect aggregate property values negatively.

2. And here we go again with "two wrongs make a right" logic...[/quote]

This new plan only gives some schools a quality education.  [/quote]

PP here and I agree.  But that doesn't change anything about the current situation.  The purpose of the school system is to provide a quality education to as many county students as possible, not to care about a single neighborhood's property values.[/quote]
