[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And MCPS has their sights set on Arylawn, and no one in the community wants the Y to lose Arylawn.  Yes, it's central to the WJ/BCC clusters, but it's walking distance from Wyngate, and it provides childcare, after school activities, summer camps, all through the Y.  [b]MCPS is nuts to think they can get away with taking back Arylawn.  [/b]Grosvenor is a great site and if the additions and boundary adjustments already underway don't solve the BCC cluster ES crowding problem, then they could make Wyngate the shared school rather than take Arylawn and have two schools within like 3 blocks of each other.  Also, NCC and CCES are both under capacity but since MCPS is unwilling to consider decoupling the schools (for good reasons, I understand that) they can't use that capacity because it would overwhelm RH to add students.[/quote]

"Get away with taking back Ayrlawn"? Doesn't MCPS own Ayrlawn? [/quote]

MCPS owns part of Arylawn.  Part is a park owned by Parks & Planning.  The BCC YMCA has clout.  I think there will be lots of opposition and MCPS is not likely to win that fight politically.  Could be wrong I guess.[/quote]

Oh, if they need M-NCPPC land too, then that's not happening. And not because of political opposition, but because M-NCPPC doesn't give up its land. Rock Creek Hills Local Park was an exception, because it was originally MCPS property, and MCPS was legally allowed to reclaim it.[/quote]
