Affected neighborhood communities were NOT involved in the site selection committee for the proposed @mcps @mocoboe school

The City of Gaithersburg is considering selling Kelley Park, including most of the athletic fields, playgrounds, and green space, so that an elementary school could be built on the land.
The proposed school already has land to be built on which can accommodate the needs and traffic of a large school. Although Kelley Park will not be completely torn down, some parts of it will be lost to the school and the use of Kelley Park may be restricted while school is in session.
With lack of community involvement thus far in this decision, it is important to understand what is at stake, and how to let your voice be heard.

WHY IS THIS PARK SPECIAL?

Kelley Park, built with $550,000 of State and Gaithersburg City funds through the program know as Open Space, is the only multi-use park east of 355.  People from across the region come and use these facilities.
