Board seeking public that oppose Lyttonsville neighbors?

Is this how the MCPS Board of Education works? 


Residents surrounding a park site in the Lyttonsville area of Silver Spring have been actively opposing the conversion of their small neighborhood park in to a school site. Last Thursday around 200 people attended a Town Hall in the neighborhood to speak to the proposal.


The e-mail below is now circulating on PTA listservs. Is this really coming from the Board of Education? 


The Board of Education is actively pursuing citizens to oppose the advocacy of the Lyttonsville community? 


The Board of Education didn't give the Lyttonsville area advance notice that their park was to be considered as a school site, but is now actively seeking citizens to oppose the Lyttonsville  community?

The Board is interested in hearing from you, positive or negative, regarding the new middle school. As of late, the commentary they have been receiving thus far has been largely from people concerned about the proposed location. If you are in favor of the site, please take a moment to send along your comments. You can use the boe@mcpsmd.org email address, oftentimes those in favor do not send along their call of support--
