I would move up Neelsville and Southlake.  And of course I would use boundary changes to reduce overcrowding when there is legitimate overcrowding. I would also support temporarily moving all kids from Neelsville now to neighboring middle schools so that they do not have to attend that school. There's room (at Rocky Hill, Clemente, Martin Luther King, and Kingsview). Since there's room at all these schools, then maybe we don't need to build a new school and just shut down that facility altogether. [/quote]

You can't move up Neelsville and South Lake without delaying other projects. Which projects would you delay?

Also, there is not room for roughly 1000 kids at Rocky Hill, Clemente, MLK, and Kingsview. Rocky Hill is at capacity, Clemente is over capacity, MLK is about 250 under capacity, and Kingsview is about 100 under capacity. To say nothing of splitting them up among 4 different high school clusters (Clarksburg, Seneca Valley, Northwest, and Watkins Mill). If it's too far from Cabin Branch to Neelsville, then it's really really too far from South Lake ES to any of those middle schools.[/quote]

They can also move the remaining kids to Seneca Valley. There's room there for the next couple of years so they can temporarily move there while they build a new Neelsville. There are also seats available at Montgomery Village, Forest Oak, and Gaithersburg Middle Schools. Maybe they can move kids there who are from Stedwick ES and Southlake and it would significantly reduce their bus times.  [/quote]

Now you're advocating to split the 1000 Neelsville kids up among 8 buildings (including 1 high school) in 5 different high school clusters. The Neelsville MS building must really be terrible for you to believe MCPS should go to these extraordinary lengths. Is it worse than the soon-to-be-former Col E Brooke Lee MS? Is it worse than the old Seneca Valley HS building?

And before you ask - I've been in the Neelsville MS and old Seneca Valley HS buildings; I have not been in the soon-to-be-former Col E Brooke Lee MS building.
