County Exec. Doug Duncan wanted Brickyard school land, too. Board said no.

County Executive Doug Duncan wanted the Brickyard Middle School site too. 
But the Board of Education didn't turn it over to him.


Here is the Board's March 2004 Resolution on the Brickyard site with the plan to evaluate the needs of the school clusters that might be able to make use of this 20 acre dedicated public school site. The 20 acre Brickyard Road Middle School site was not declared surplus to the needs of public school children.
