[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The class sizes are getting so small that they are now having split grade classes.[/quote]

Yeah, that school is as good as gone. After Crown will be built, they will move Fallsgrove out and Falls Chapel/Copenhaven into Ritchie Park and the rest to Beverly Farms.

They should had worked with Horizon Hill and Montgomery Square to get them over to the school years ago. Too late now. With no new increase in enrollment and Wayside and Beverly Farms under capacity by 20%, Cold Spring will never get a rebuild. They will get dispersed and HGC will move to Wayside. [/quote]

Amazing that mcps would close a school rather than changing the boundaries when so much capacity is needed.[/quote]

Crown will be a high school. No elementary boundaries will change. They are not going to close low enrollment schools. T[b]he BoE specifically passed a resolution during the RMES 5 decision to look at Cold Spring and other low enrollment schools if any school in the RM cluster winds up with 4 or more portables in the next 5 years. They will use Cold Spring to siphon off over enrollment at other cluster elementary schools[/b].[/quote]
Oh, I didn't hear this part.[/quote]

Cold Spring was specifically mentioned during the RM ES #5 BoE vote and resolution discussion on 11/27, though it is not specifically named in the resolution itself (you can watch the video of the hearing online).  Here is the official wording of the amendment: "Resolved, That capacity issues in the Richard Montgomery Cluster should be reviewed to identify
possible options to address elementary school capacity if an elementary school in the cluster is projected
to require more than four relocatable classroom units in the six year period, or at the end of the fifth
year of operation of the new Richard Montgomery Elementary School #5 and that the superintendent
of schools provide a recommendation to the Board of Education based on those options as part
of the Capital Improvements Program process;"
