[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, that's now how that played out.

you should be asking your fcps for more transparency about how long they knew of this sale.  the the alumni had the funds to buy but because fcps and the seller were already in discussion long before the sale went public they were already cut out. that's what the person was trying to tell you. this wasn't a transparent deal nor gave a fair chance to the alumni to buy.

[quote=Anonymous]The KAA families have had since February to try and save the school. It is not FCPS fault the school closed. FCPS did not offer to buy the building leading the school to close. The Saudi Government announced it was pulling funding in February. All FCPS did was buy the building. The families have had since then to reach out to FCPS and ask questions about the public schools. It is absurd that you think that FCPS owes the KAA families, families who had already chosen to not attend public schools, some type of special consideration because FCPS bought the building.

Again, that is between the Saudi Government and the families of KAA and FCPS. There was no transparency when the land was randonly sold to the Saudi’s years back either and I doubt that the KAA families were up in arms then. The families can be upset with whoever they want, it matters little to me. The Saudi’s closed the school and sold it. Take it up with them. I have a kid going to Carson and would love to see them move into a new school that is close by. The plight of private school families is not my concern. They would be welcome to attend any number of IB schools in FCPS, pupil placing into IB is easy enough to do. [/quote]
