Plastic Football Field for Churchill HS! BOE approval not required, taxpayers will foot bill if needed!

This is is 1 ton of crumb rubber. Each MCPS
football field requires 120 of these bags. More
crumb rubber must be added each year as the
little crumbs wash off the field and go home
with players. 

No Board of Education approval is required for Churchill High School parents to hand over their football field to a private entity and install a plastic field! Plans have already begun!

Observer:  Booster Club beings plans for turf field installation


Remember that at Wootton High School taxpayers were tricked into believing that the "Booster Club" would be paying the balance on the cost of installation of plastic grass.  That didn't happen.  The Board of Education had no trouble at all throwing $205,178 into the project when the "Booster Club" fundraising fell short!  Mold at your school? Sorry, the priority funding in MCPS is for artificial turf football fields, your mold issues can wait 10 or 15 years for funding! 

Here's a delivery of tons and tons (each bag is 1 ton)
of crumb rubber. A pile of crumb rubber was dumped
in the parking lot. 

Here's where the crumb rubber
ends up. It runs off into streams
and storm water.  But, Montgomery
County is "green" so this is OK
with our elected officials.
