| This is the usable MCPS school that is slated to be demolished. |
Tell the Montgomery County Council: VOTE NO on the "Declaration of No Further Need" for County Service Park East/Jeremiah Park
On March 30th, 2015, the Montgomery County Council's Government Operations and Education Committees will vote on this issue. If the Council votes to kick the MCPS school buses off the Shady Grove Depot location, the Board of Education will then demolish a perfectly usable public school building on Avery Road in order to have a place to park the school buses. A private developer wants the current MCPS Shady Grove bus depot for a new housing development, so the MCPS school buses are being forced off the property without any evaluation of the consequences of this plan.
Please call the following County Council members ASAP:
Nancy Navarro: 240-777-7968
Craig Rice: 240-777-7955
Hans Riemer: 240-777-7964
Sidney Katz: 240-777-7906
Marc Elrich: 240-777-7966
• There should be no "declaration of no further need" of the County Service Park East/Jeremiah Park land until a suitable bus depot location is identified-- and not on Avery Road where an entire public school building would have to be demolished.
• We understand the Derwood community's position on relocating the bus depot at Jeremiah Park, but it cannot happen until a suitable location is identified.
Why is this important? Without a suitable, alternate location for the school bus depot, losing the current bus depot at "County Service Park East/Jeremiah Park" would result in even more pressure on the Board of Education to quickly move the Alternative Education Programs (AEPs) to English Manor, demolish the Blair Ewing School, and build a bus depot at that location.
Don't lose County Service Park East/Jeremiah Park until the bus depot issue is resolved and the Avery Road location is off the table.
• NO to a MCPS bus depot on Avery Road.
• NO to demolishing a MCPS school.
