[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't like the idea of turning SSIMS into a holding school and then closing it, but they said they were doing it to renovate Eastern and Sligo Middle, which are not west county or rich.

But I agree that shutting down schools in a central dense area is a bad idea, and I think MCPS needs to provide a lot more information on what led them to come to the conclusion that this option was better than renovating or tearing down and rebuilding those schools in the same location.[/quote]

It is an insult to this community to ignore renovations at this site for years and years and then do this and say it’s an investment in Silver Spring.[/quote]

By "investment in Silver Spring," I think they meant the four CIP projects proposed for Sligo Creek, Highland View, Eastern, and Sligo. [/quote]

I understand that and I think it’s deceitful.  It’s a net loss of one middle school for the region.  Sligo and Eastern do not benefit from absorbing the SSIMS kids. Moreover, Sligo Creek families have sought renovation, not a new location.[/quote]

No, but they do benefit from getting new or "renewed" buildings. Lots of other schools around the county are asking for that and aren't getting anything in this CIP.[/quote]

Pros and cons, but on balance, I do not at all consider this a net investment in SS.  Maybe you do.[/quote]
