The Senator stated, Il under

Total cost of the project is
estimated to be S22, 100000"
Sen. Butler also said that Gen

crossing satisfactorily. "All indi-
cations point to the location of
this in Maryland also" he said.

Nevertheless, the consistently in
creaSing trend of land values in
Montgomery County guarantees
that the board will acquire the
sites needed more economically
by such forward-looking action"
The architects comment is
short and somewhat obscure.
Their (McKinsey's) discussion on
long-range planning overlooked
the possibility that monies made
available year in advance of
the budget for a major school pro-
ject would save year in the plan
ming of a major school project.
We would also like to call to
your attention the fact that fed
eral monies are available on loan
for pre-planning operations and
we would like to recommend the
use of this money"

school, and area. To do this he
holds monthly conferences with
the Park and Planning Commits
sion, receives a list of all building
permits issued, talks to builders
and utility companies, and follows
the birth records. Also he pro-
Jects the present enrolment
ahead, taking into consideration
drop-outs, transfers, repeats, and
migration. Mr.. Burdette says his
most difficult task is predicting
new population .centers.
Long-range forcasting of school
population is nothing new. In
1916 Mr.. WEIGH made a survey
of future school needs. When
Glenmont was the only school in
the Wheaton area, Mr.. WEIGH pre-
dicted that there would be 800
new houses in Wheaton and an
undesignated number in Glen
mont.
He predicted that in 1851 the
school enrolment would be up to
$4,000. The figure turned out to
be $1,000. But in 1916 Mr.. WEIGH
was told his predictions lust
couldn't happen"
Most school officials agree that
there is apathy toward future
site acquisition and school con-
struction, even in the face of
long-range forecasts. For instance
by moving along the present
school enrolment and allowing
for no new pupils, the secondary
school enrolment in 1863 will be
double today's enrolment. Yet
school officials see little chance
of doubling secondary classrooms.
Once the emergency" school
sites have been purchased and
the backlog" caught up with, the
$450,000 revolving fund should be
enough to buy many school sites
in advance, holds Mr.. WEIGH. He
says sites for Springbrook, New
port Mill, Ashburton, and about
three other schools have been
purchased from the fund.
PulIen Comments
State Superintendent Pullen
calls the McKinsey recommends
ton for a 10-year site acquisition
plan "unrealistic." He continues
1T is also unrealistic to believe
that the fiscal authorities would
put up money for purchases that
far in advance. / do not believe
as matter of public policy that
any board should put itself in the
position of acquiring land very
far in advance of housing develop
ment for the simple reason that
it will be accused of collision with
real estate operators. On the 9th
er hand l do believe the recon-
mendation sound in principle, but
not in time"
McKinsey anticipated the sup
erintendent's comment. The re-
port states, This proposal may
be criticized as putting the Board
of Education in the real estate
business, and in that it will take
some property off the county tax
rolls.
'In addition, it is quite prob
able that some sites which the
board acquires will have to be
disposed of in the future because
requirements do not materialize.

Memo McKnseyf - "
Aduance School Site Buying
Called Money Saving Plan

the federal government which are
available, the School Board has
the necessary skills to make long
range forecasts of populations and
population centers."
The School Board moved in that
direction early this month when
it endorsed "in principle the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commissions mas
ter plan of schools, parks, and
recreation. The board held that
the plan provides a basis for CO.
operation between the Board of
Education and the Maryland-Na-
tional Capitol Park and Planning
Commission which Should result
in improved site locations in re-
spect to future community needs,
better supporting data to be used
in school site selection, and fu-
ture savings to the taxpayer"
A major improvement in site
acquisition procedures occurred
two years ago when the County
Council established a $450000 re-
volving fund from which the
Board of Education can purchase
school sites in advance of their
need
McKinsey Still Hit
Though it is generally kind to
school site acquisition policies, the
McKinsey report has been criticiZ-
ed by several sources for its find
ings.
Mr. WEIGH, Mr.. Burdette, school
board president Helen Scharf,
state school superintendent Dr.
Thomas G. Pullen, Jr., and the
Potomac Valley Chapter of the
American Institute of Architects
have all commented.
Mr.. WEIGH contests the McKin-
sey statement, THE longest lead
time between the date Of acquisi-
ton and the date construction
was begun was Ia months"
After reviewing his notes, Mr.
Douglas admits his statement
may be in error. His figures
show that the site for Belt Junior
High School was purchased De.
cember II, 1858 and construction
began April 4, 1855; the North
Bethesda Junior High School site
was purchased August 8, 1851,
and construction began December
%, 1858.
Mr. WEIGH holds that the sites
for Damascus and Gaithersburg
High Schools were purchased
four years in advance of construc-
ton. Mr. Douglas explains that
his statement only applies to
school sites purchased after 1850
Six Months Average
The McKinsey report states
that the average time between
site acquisition and start of con
struction is six months. The sur
vey says that one site bought in
the last five years was not used
Mr. WEIGH explains that this site
will be used soon for the Ban
nockburn School.
Mr.. WEIGH, Mr. Burdette, Mrs
Scharf and most other school of
ficials believe that any attempt
to select school sites more than
five years in advance of need 'is
a pure guess" But the staff tri-
es. Mr. Burdette supplies Mr.
WEIGH with estimates of future
school enrolment by grade,

Staff Reporter


(This is the third in a series
of articles on McKinsey and Co.
recommendations for improving
the administration of the Mont
gOmery County school system,
the background on, and the re-
actions to those Recommended
tons. This weeks article con-
siders the McKinsey Reports
proposals on site acquisition.
Eds NOte.)
The area of school administra-
ton least criticized in the McKin-
sey report is site acquisition. In
fact Frank Douglas of the man
agement consulting firm describ-
es the reports page-and-a-half of
comment on site acquisition as
an endorsement" of Board of
Education policy in the field.
McKinsey does suggest two i'm
proVementS in the site acquisi-
ton program:
1. Establishment of a "10-year
plan" for buying school sites far
in advance of their need so the
price will be lower and the choice
of sites better.
2. Realignment of administra-
tive duties to free the director
of research from testing duties so
that he can devote his full time
to forcasting future school needs.
By acquiring a site only short
ly before a school is built, the
Board of Education, says McKin-
sey, buys "at the peak of dollar
value" and gets virtually the last
choice of remaining land" Often
site improvements and grading
are necessary before construction
can begin.
McKinsey reports that while ac-
tual acquisition is the job of the
administrative assistant for site
acquisition, population and enroll
ment forcasting, upon which &C.
QUESTION is based, is the job of
the director of research and test
ing.
Of this latter office the Nc.
Kinsey survey says, Throughout
the school year testing consumes
the bulk of the directors time and
planning functions that are con.
tinuouS in such a rapidly grow.
ing county suffer from the lack
of support and service in popula-
ton forecasts"
Suggestions Taken
The School Board has been
quick to study the McKinsey sug-
gestions on site acquisition. The
report of a subcommittee on the
McKinsey survey adopted last
week, holds, '"The board and staff
have gone far toward establish.
ment of a long-range plan for
site acquisition and we believe no
specific suggestion need be made
at this time"
In adopting McKinsey's propos-
ais for better research procedures,
/ the School Board stated, Testing
having been placed under the di-
rector of educational services,
and most research being in the
nature of forecasting and plan.
ming, we think the latter function
can be placed under Mr.. WEIGH"
Lester WEIGH is the present adj
ministrative assistant for site ac-
QUESTION.
Mr.. WEIGH will be assigned an
assistant to help with the new
research duties. What is to be-
come of Maxwell Burdette, pre-
sent director of research and test
ing, the School Board does not
say.
The McKinsey report urges,
