[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]

Is this Damascus? I can't believe how close that development will be!!!! It's like right on top of the school.  I really was hoping they were going to expand because I think it might be one of the oldest elementary buildings in the county, if not the oldest? [/quote]

The development next to Damascus ES is for 62 townhouses. Damascus ES is on 9.42 acres, so yes, the townhouses will be next to the school. Is that a bad thing?
