[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SCES needs to be rezoned end of story and it will. The boundaries make zero aense and are inequitable.[/quote]

I am against the proposals but I do agree with this.  It’s a community so it’s sad, but the boundaries should change regardless.[/quote]

SCES boundaries are a completely different conversation than the proposal to turn the school into a holding school. An elementary boundary study is coming, and likely many boundaries will change, including Sligo Creek's, which no one is arguing with.

What's at stake here is taking the only two schools in the urban core of Silver Spring and turning them into holding schools. That would mean every kid who walks to those schools now would take a bus, and every kid who comes to the site once it's a holding school would also arrive by bus. You are talking about adding 40+ busses per day to an already dense and congested area -- an area that the council and state have invested billions in with the new Purple Line to turn it into a walkable urban community. This is a short-sighted, urban planning nightmare. [/quote]

I oppose the proposal.  I think your argument is much stronger in the case of the middle school, since ESS in particular is so close to SCES but also HV….
Which neighborhoods specifically can walk to SCES but not one of those two?[/quote]
