[b]If MCPS were engaged, it could work with the planners and determine that IF THE PLANS COME TO FRUITION, yes, this piece of land should be set aside for a potential new school site[/b], and if the developer is interested in currying favor with the substantial portion of the community that's upset about the lack of school infrastructure for such a development, the developer could do MCPS a solid and set up the land to be ready for a new building and maybe even come up with some building plan proposals.  Or even kick in money for building the new school.  Build a playground for the school.  Whatever.  The entire area is so overcrowded that if even only 10% of the 800 or so new units end up having children, a small 300-student school could be filled and pick up the existing overcapacity for Wood Acres and maybe have space for the inevitable growth as older residents move out and young families come in (a dynamic that anyone who lives in the area has seen on overdrive recently).  But for MCPS to keep claiming that nothing at all will change (until it does), we're being set up for a real train wreck soon.[/quote]

They do this elsewhere. If they're not doing it at Westbard, I don't know why.[/quote]
