[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And sorry but yes, they should be building a school NOW for the Crown development.  There are homes that are moved in, sold and for sale, more being built and it isn't like single couples deciding to have kids in 5yrs are the only ones moving in. Kids are already living there.  By next year school year, 70% of the homes projected to be built will be lived in or sold.  It takes 5yrs minimum to plan and build a school.  They haven't even started planning.  So what is going to happen to those surrounding schools?  Over capacity, portables, awful lunch times, no room for recess.  Then another round of studying for redistricting etc...  It is never ending and never done right.  [/quote]
Very few purchasers at Crown plan to send their kids to MCPS.  It's a very expensive development zoned for GBurg.  One of the builders (I won't name them) came out and told me about how I can send my kid to private from there - they aren't stupid.  People buying homes in the 800k to 1.2M price range aren't sending them to the GBurg cluster.[/quote]

I talked recently to a mom who lives in Crown, and I got the sense that there was some kind of bait and switch that happened at some point - either new schools were supposed to be built, or the zoning was originally to somewhere else. Needless to say, she was very displeased to end up zoned for Gaithersburg High.[/quote]
