Judge Rules Key's Proposed Uses Acceptable
Posted April 26, 2013
On Tuesday, April 23, 2013, a county judge ruled in favor of Key School, stating the School's intended uses for the golf course property are indeed consistent with those outlined in the neighborhood's land use covenants. We are very happy with this outcome and look forward to moving ahead with our plans for this exquisite property.
Key's Board of Trustees and Administration remain committed to stewarding this property responsibly and, over time, to forging amicable relationships with the residents of Annapolis Roads.
Key students will surely benefit from the varied recreational and co-curricular opportunities this property makes possible. Tuesday's legal rendering is truly extending to Key yet another transformative milestone in its fifty-five year history.

January 2013 Update
Posted January 31, 2013
The School continues to move forward enthusiastically with its plans to purchase the 70-acre parcel of land in Annapolis Roads. Updated concept plans for the property, taking into account both feedback received from residents and the Anne Arundel County Office of Planning and Zoning, have been submitted to the County for further review. The revised plans will be posted soon!
On January 25, an Order denying Key’s Motion to Dismiss a lawsuit brought by four members of Annapolis Roads was announced. This decision is not an indication of the merits of the claims but rather acknowledges the right of the individuals to have their claims heard in court. From Key’s perspective, a decision regarding what constitutes “recreation” will enable the heart of the matter to be addressed in a timely way. We believe our proposed uses comply with the legal requirements. The School looks forward to the judge’s adjudication of this matter as well as to a prompt resolution of the plaintiff’s claims. The trial will take place in late April 2013. -
