[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The county council has approved construction of a huge new apartment complex in our neighborhood, but our local ES is already over capacity with no new updates/improvements on the horizon. Do the council and MCPS talk to each other about this sort of thing? How do they approve these types of projects without having a plan on where the kids can go (besides adding portables which is not a solution). There doesn’t seem to be any thought as to the long term impacts to our schools……[/quote]

OP, the county council does not approve construction, that's not how it works.

What is your neighborhood? Which is your local ES?[/quote]

OP here- they may not “approve” it but they are all for it and even have a goal of adding 40k new housing units across the county. My question is how are these decisions made and how can we as a community protect our schools from being more crowded than they already are? We already have several portables and this will only add significantly more….[/quote]

It sounds like you're not asking how these decisions are made, but rather complaining about the decisions that have been made?

Which "huge new apartment complex" are you complaining about? Which school already has "several portables"? If you want to know how the decisions were made, you need to answer these questions.[/quote]
