Woodgrove High School Is A Reality

Here is an example of your County and Town Government working together. Sure it only took Eight Long years and thousands of taxpayer dollars for lawyers and litigation between the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors and the Town of Purcellville, but the point is that an agreement was reached. In other words they did their job. Lets all stand up and offer a big round of applause for all parties. Meanwhile the public, that is the residents of the Town Of Purcellville, as well as the residents of Loudoun County, Virginia have been left in limbo. Western Loudoun County Has ONE High School for which students from towns and communities throughout western Loudoun County are bussed to. The halls of Loudoun Valley High School are filled to capacity with students. Whether or not the actual physical location of a new High School should or should not be located in said town, in this case Fields Farm in the Town Of Purcellville is a mute point. Loudoun County has needed an additional High School in western Loudoun for years now. Woodgrove High School is scheduled to open in 2010 and will be located next to Mountain View Elementary School. However, in order for this to happen it will mean that all parties to include Loudoun County Public Schools the Loudoun County Board of Supervisiors and the Town of Purcellville will have to work together, and this time even more closely to clear up any remaining issues in order for this to come to fruition.

One reasson a board member said this agreement between all parties came about was that they were out of time! And that because they were out of time it motivated all parties to look for a resolution. I like to think it was the heat from the public that motivated their ability to come to a decision.

Stop wasting our tax dollars on senseless litigation then come back and tell us the Budget for Loudoun County has Shortfalls and now we will have to rasie property taxes in Loudoun County and probably the Town of Purcellville will raise their Town Taxes as well.

There is a growing concern over Short Sales and Forclosures already. If you raise property taxes more you are surely going to end up with even more people unable to pay their mortgage and thus create more Foreclosures. This means less tax dollars for you the County and the Town. How about trying to scale back and be fiscally responsible?
