[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ideally everyone should start at 8:30 or so.  And we should have many more smaller ES to eliminate ES busses so only MS and HS is bussed. [/quote]
This is an urban county - there isn't land for more elementary schools, even smaller ones, esp. in down-county.

And even of there were land, and money to buy it, MCPS wouldn't build a small one - their motto is "the bigger the better!"  They want:
ES - 770/800
MS - 1500
HS - 2700 (WJ they wanted to build to 3500!)

State of MD says the sweet spot (otherwise too big, and you lose too much even though you gain economies of scale) is:
ES - 600
MS - 1000
HS - 2000[/quote]

That is not their motto.  Stop being ridiculous.  The problem is that there isn’t land and unlimited funds for multiple schools.  When you build a school the expenses go beyond just the building.  There’s also the land needed surrounding for things like football fields.  There’s also teachers, counselors, admins needed for each school. Bus routes needed if there are not acceptable Ride On bus routes and schedules.  Then you still have to support the clubs and teams and each school. Etc etc.[/quote]
