[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it's a blip that the last Capital Improvement Plan was prepared under an acting Superintendent who was the definition of an empty suit, but it's not obvious that money is being spent in the right places or on the right projects.  The 2017 bond should be voted down.  [/quote]

Agreed! Looking at the capacity projections for some of the schools slated for renovations/expansions, and then looking at school boundaries, this current CIP seems to be in direct conflict with what is actually needed in the county.

My kids are slated for Shrevewood/Kilmer/Marshall. All three are slated to be WAY overcapacity by 2021 (even though Marshall just finished its renovation). Yet these schools are not even being considered for expansion, and nothing has seriously been done about adjusting boundaries. Why should the kids that live in the housing at Dunn Loring metro go to Shrevewood when they can WALK to Stenwood? Similarly, there are some areas where it is obvious that boundary fixes could at least help with some overcrowding...and nothing is being done. [/quote]
