In our previous blog post we noted that Senator Craig Zucker and Delegate Anne Kaiser are sponsoring a Bond Bill that will give $200,000 to the Damascus High School Athletic Boosters for the purchase of a plastic grass football field. Note Zucker and Kaiser are not giving the funds to the Board of Education, they are giving the cash directly to parents. Anyone wonder why that is?
In addition to the $200,000 from the State of Maryland, the Damascus High School Athletic Boosters Club are also receiving, or have received, $500,000 from the Montgomery County Board of Education.
Clearly the MCPS Budget is flush with cash if the Board of Education has an extra $500,000 to spend on plastic grass.
Meanwhile, if your child is in a school with high radon readings, mold issues, HVAC issues, bathroom renovation needs, or your child is in a classroom trailer remember that plastic grass for football fields is the #1 priority of the Board of Education. Your child's school needs will just have to wait.
