That link mentions that they're adding a new school.  Which HS would that feed into?[/quote]

They're adding a new school SITE. Wait until construction of the school is actually funded before worrying about which high school it would feed into.[/quote]

Well, don't they have to open a new school?  Where would the kids who live be going to school?  What's the difference between a school SITE and a school?  Just that they'll leave the site open until the homes sell and then open a school?[/quote]

No, MCPS does not have to open a new school. The kids who live there will go to existing schools, unless and until MCPS builds a new school. The difference between a school site and a school is that a school site is the location where MCPS might build a school in the future, if they decide to do so and have the money for it, and a school is a school.[/quote]

Right, the county requires developers to set aside land for a new school but that doesn't mean a new school will ever be built. They did this in King Farm and other relatively new developments but in many cases the land just sits there unused. Granted MCPS does not have the budget to build a new school every time a new development is built. [/quote]
