Board of Ed. Finds $$$ for Artificial Turf for City of Gaithersburg

As noted in our earlier post today, the Montgomery County Public School Real Estate fund was in the negative in FY 2019.  The Real Estate Fund was used to pay for the replacement of the Walter Johnson High School artificial turf football field, but is now out of money for any future artificial turf replacements.

Yet, the Board of Education found money to contribute to an artificial turf field for the City of Gaithersburg as part of the MCPS plan to take over City of Gaithersburg land for an elementary school.

Meanwhile, the Board of Education has a completely empty elementary school site that they refuse to use for a school right down the road from where they want to steal a park from the City of Gaithersburg.
