[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new SCES will be at Parkside.

Take the hint people.[/quote]

This is what they said in the 2018 report-- do we think it would still be considered less desirable/too expensive?

"Parkside Elementary School is a former elementary school site and closed in 1976. The 11.60-acre 
portion of the 15.60-acre candidate site was deeded to Montgomery County Government the same 
year. The remaining approximately 4-acre portion of the 15.60-acre candidate site is owned by 
M-NCPPC. The publicly-owned candidate site is one of the more challenging to develop as a new 
elementary school primarily because of steep slopes, forested areas, limited access, and wetlands. 
Any new school on this site would have to include use of the heavily forested County-owned portion 
of the site; the eastern portion houses a child care center and the western portion houses the M-NCPPC 
Parks Division Headquarters. As a result of the environmental issues and site constraints, the SSAC 
believed this site would be costly and difficult to redevelop as a new elementary school."[/quote]

It's amazing how just a few short years can change perspectives, as is the case now with SCES.

This happens elsewhere. In 2017, MCPS was going to put an addition onto Piney Branch ES. There was no problem with the classroom and floor configurations back then. MCPS decided not to make the addition because the school population predictions did not warrant it. Fast forward to 2025, and suddenly the school is a poorly designed mess of a school and must be rebuilt.[/quote]
