[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel ridiculous asking this 34 pages into a thread, but was looking for a place to ask it. Can you help me understand, as someone who does not understand the geography of the area (I'm just bad at geography and live on the other side of the county) what decision has been made that people are so upset about it, and why people are upset about it?[/quote]

A huge high school building and an artificial turf football field are going to be boarded up and abandoned in a residential neighborhood.  A neighbor school will be shuttered and all of the students that could walk to that school will not need to be buses elsewhere.  MCPS doesn’t have money for more buses and can’t afford to transport these students.

The bigger issue is that this is just the beginning of Taylor’s plan to shut down school buildings across the county.  He wants to board up dozens of schools for developers to tear down the schools and build condos.  [/quote]

The same school building parents advocated that has serious mold, plumbing, electrical, gas and other major issues.  [/quote]
