Next steps are input from the City and from the public, followed by the Board of Education’s endorsement/comments.
MCPS has not made the final determination about the site — this is the committee’s recommendation. If you click the link in the post above, you can read the report and see why they are looking for a school site and which other sites were evaluated.
If Kelley is the site, then the actual configuration would have to be determined — a school would take up part of the park, not all of it. Based on the first diagram that was shared, the two baseball diamonds and part of the softball field would remain as a city park. One option would take away the softball field and replace it with something smaller, perhaps a soccer field.
