[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol. Not everything is a conspiracy. FCPS made a mistake when selling this land and corrected it. It's been on the books to have a high school there for 20 or 30 years. There is no conspiracy. [/quote]

Citizens asking for good governance and stewardship of taxpayer money are not conspiracy theorists.[/quote]

When some of those citizens live less than 3 miles from one school and 13 miles from the school they currently attend, it is hard to justify the "taxpayer money" issue.

Purchasing this school IS good stewardship of taxpayer money:

1. It reduces bus transportation costs.  THRU is adding MORE students to 30 minute bus rides.  Hundreds of students are already being sent on these bus rides.  Thru will add many more.
2. It reduces schools that the School Board claims are overcrowded.
3. It eliminates a very huge attendance island.
4. It reduces constant boundary adjustments of the community.
5. It keeps neighborhoods together that THRU plans to split.[/quote]

Oh, you’re the poster that would rubber stamp $150 million because you dislike great falls. Big surprise. 🙄[/quote]

No, I am the poster who does not want my neighborhood split and sent on a thirty minute bus ride.  Good stewardship is important.  Passing up this opportunity to have a high school that has been promised for years is appropriate.  I have always supported being able to stay put--including Great Falls--but when they are trying to sabotage something that is a very good thing, I have lost my sympathy.

This school could be populated with students that live easily within ten minutes--on a bad rush hour day.  Instead of being split in many directions.  That is a good thing.

Epitome of selfishness. Gotta get me that taxpayer handout, no questions can be asked, because my precious little snowflake can’t be on the bus too long, she’ll get a cramp.[/quote]
