Nope, MCPS redid their capacity planning, and JWMS is projected to be over capacity in 2024

Check Appendix towards the end.

I'm arguing for Rockville to stop building until they can get school capacity under control, especially for RMHS.  So yes, until Crown is built to alleviate over crowding at RMHS, they need to stop building housing units.

BTW that same link shows RPES at over capacity now and in 5 years time, and this is even with the new ES now operating.[/quote]

You're saying that you want MCPS to build the schools before Rockville approves further residential building where students who will attend those schools will live?

Why do you think that's a good idea, from the point of view of the city and county overall? Of course from the point of view of a person who already lives there and has a child in the school, it's great. It's kind of like how the lack of traffic on the roads during an economic downturn is great, if you're a person who still has a job.

Also, turnover of existing residences is a major factor in increasing enrollment. Do you also want Rockville to ban sales/rentals of existing residences until MCPS has build the school buildings? If not, why not? [/quote]
