Schools in Lovettsville - another opportunity to be lost soon - please come speak to BOS on Feb28

[Stinger]

The clock is ticking and what may be our final chance to secure land near Lovettsville for future middle and high schools MS/HS-10 will be lost in 2-3 weeks.  I am asking for citizens with interest to please join me at the next Board of Supervisors public input session in Leesburg on February 28 at 6:30pm.

 

We need to say that waiting for the School Board has failed.  The School Board had a year April 2009 to April 2010 but took no action.  The opportunity came back in December2010 and nothing has happened for the last 2+ months.  Therefore, since the School Board will do NOTHING on this, we want the Board of Supervisors to take action on the McDonough Assemblage opportunity before this contract expires.  This is our chance to ask FOR something, instead of argueing AGAINST something. 

 

We need to remind Supervisors that Loudoun voters approved a bond in 2007 that included funding for land for HS-10 and the School Board was happy to spend $12Million of it in 2009 in Wheatland but now LCPS won't even initiate studies on the 100+ McDonough Assemblage in Lovettsville.  This is not acceptable.

 

Our community and families continue to get the shaft and we desperately need to speak up now or remain quiet and accept the fact that our elected representatives (Supervisors Sally Kurtz sally...@loudoun.gov and Scott York scott...@loudoun.gov and School Board reps Jennifer Bergel jennife...@lcps.org  and thoma...@lcps.org;) care nothing about securing land for future schools for their Lovettsville constituents. 

 

Call/email me if you have any questions
