'The community is stunned'

"The community is stunned. We can’t imagine why they did this. It’s inconceivable," said Sandy Vogelgesang, a community leader and head of the Save Seven Locks Coalition.

“The [County] Council had offered a face-saving solution [for the school board] and the thanks they got for that face-saving gesture was the two options that were the most unacceptable,” Vogelgesang says in the Potomac Almanac.
