[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moving Alt Programs to Aspen Hill will kill that community on so many levels.

The county spent quite a bit renovating Ewing Center during Alt's redesign, only to move the school to what was once an elementary school in Aspen Hill.

bad move [/quote]

Unfortunately the community associations (Aspen Hill Civic Association and the AH Homeowners Group) were NOT made aware of the plans until late in the process.  There's a website currently discussing the issue:  http://www.saveenglishmanor.org/

There is actually a charter school (School for Tomorrow - http://www.sftedu.org/our-school/) currently renting out that building and they were not made aware of the plans either.

Let's face reality. Aspen hill is not a desirable part of the county to live in. 
Those days are long gone.  Perry HS was demolished, and it's not a great place to live.

[b]Why shouldn't MCPS reuse a building they own. [/b]

As for mark twain it's been closed since 2008. 
Again why not move the bus depot to MCPS property

Makes perfect sence. [/quote]

"Why shouldn't MCPS use property they own?" is a question that applies exactly as much in Potomac as in Aspen Hill.

By the way, here is a presentation from 2013 from the staff work group to the County Council on the school bus depots. If you want to suggest an alternative site (or sites) to MCPS, you can find out here what the necessary site characteristics are, what sites they've already considered, what alternatives they've considered, and so on.
