Montgomery County residents fighting school district on school site

Montgomery County residents are fighting a plan to build a new middle school in a Kensington neighborhood park, and announced they will file an appeal on a recent court ruling clearing the way for the county to destroy the park.

John Robinson, president of the Rock Creek Hills Citizens’ Association, said the group filed a notice of appeal on a recent court decision backing MCPS. Robinson declined to talk specifically about the appeal, but said the matter has gone on for some time and the neighborhood feels there was an error in judgment.
