Despite the fact that there are 25 high schools in Montgomery County, Superintendent Weast is backing a plan to build an Arena in Rockville that will only allow 5 graduations to use the venue per year. See the Superintendent's memo to the Board of Education below.
The planning documents for this Arena appear to show that each graduation will generate $8,435 in income for the Arena. If this is the cost of the venue to MCPS then this Arena will cost more to rent than DAR Constitution Hall. Superintendent Weast's memo is conspicuously silent as to the per graduation rental cost of this proposed Arena.
Superintendent Weast's memo says that this Arena will be discussed by the Board of Education at their August 26, 2010 meeting, but the Board Agenda does not show this topic as having been scheduled.
