At the IAC meeting held today in Baltimore to approve the transfer of Peary High School to the Melvin J. Berman Hebrew Academy, the Montgomery County Board of Education failed to show up or submit their view in opposition to the sale to the IAC.
The IAC committee members stated that they received four submissions: two from private citizens opposing the property transfer, one from some members of Montgomery County's Legislative Delegation, and one from the County Executive in support of the sale. At least two members of the Montgomery County delegation (Senator-elect Roger Manno and Delegate Ben Kramer) were present at the IAC meeting, along with a representative from the Berman Hebrew Academy and a representative from County Executive Ike Leggett's office.
Next the Board of Public Works reviews this public school site transfer on December 15, 2010.
Does this apply?

.26 Reconsideration.
A. A local board of education dissatisfied with a determination made by the IAC's designee may request the IAC to reconsider the determination.
B. A local board of education dissatisfied with a determination made by the IAC may request the Board of Public Works to reconsider the determination by submitting an agenda item to the Executive Secretary of the Board of Public Works.
Let's name names, shall we? The people celebrating after the unanimous vote were Ben Kramer and Roger Manno. Or, as Duchy Trachtenberg says, 'Mazel Tov!' So fun to lose money for the taxpayers and hand it off to special interests, isn't it? To all you taxpayers and those unfortunate enough to send your children to the public schools: too bad you didn't have the thousands of dollars required to pay off your elected government officials. Now you can stuff your kids into moldy portables for years to come. You snooze, you lose.
