[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is a bad idea to tear down a usable school building (Twain-Ewing) and turn it into a parking lot.
So: where to put the bus lot? 
MCPS owns other school properties-why not sell Brickyard, for example, and use the money to buy something somewhere else? How about that empty huge lot on Shady Grove where the Sears-Home store (can't remember the name) used to be? 
I don't think the kids in alternative ed should be moved around from pillar to post.  Remember when MCPS closed Kingsley Wilderness?  and when they touted how wonderful the "ewing center" would be for the kids?  
The Ewing Center has athletic fields and actually an indoor pool.  It has the space to really do some vocational skills training.  Why move the kids to a smaller  facility not accessible by public transportation (I've seen the kids waiting for the Ride On on 28).
That being said, I don't have any sympathy for the Aspen Hill folks who don't want "those kids" nearby.[/quote]

The pool is in such bad shape that it cannot renovated.  Unless you've been inside the building, you have no room to talk.
