[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lot of changes coming to this cluster, and quickly from what I hear.  Many people will be moved to QO or Crown, or to other schools.[/quote]

How do you square "quickly" with people being moved to Crown, which doesn't exist yet, has no architectural plans in progress, and no funding for even the planning stages of construction?  It takes MCPS at least 4 years to build a high school, and [b]there is no evidence that they are going to start that process for Crown this year.[/b]  So you are talking about 5 years minimum for Crown.  I guess in MCPS that might be considered "quickly"?[/quote]

Here's the evidence.

[i]Capital Project: Previous projections indicated that enrollment at Thomas S. Wootton High School would exceed
capacity by 200 seats or more by the end of the
six-year planning period. An FY 2018 appropriation
was approved for a facility planning to conduct
a capacity study. Expenditures are approved in
the six-year period to open a new high school on
the Crown Farm site to address overutilization
in the mid-county region. Although an FY 2019
appropriation for planning was recommended by
the Board of Education for this new school, the
County Council delayed the funds by one year
to begin in FY 2020. [b]An FY 2020 appropriation is
approved for planning to begin the architectural
design for this project. [/b]Once the planning is complete, a recommendation will be included in the
next full CIP regarding the phasing and completion date for the opening of this new high school.[/i]

FY 2020 for MCPS started on July 1.
