What is the "right way" to go about this then? In order to create holding schools, somebody's school has to shut down.[/quote]

Do the bare minimum to convert an existing unused MCPS property to a holding school? Buy commercial property to use as a holding school (although that might be prohibitively expensive)? If they did the minimum renovations for  SCES and SSIMS rather than rebuilding SCES (which is not ideal but a sacrifice that many would likely be willing to make over losing SSIMS), plus took the 12 million currently allocated for Piney Branch’s pool/ fancy gym to invest in the holding school project, maybe the math would work out?

But none of us will ever know if these are viable alternatives, because this process has been completely opaque and MCPS won’t share any info about other options that were explored![/quote]

I agree with you that MCPS needs to show the math and logic on how it came to its decision, but at the end of the day, the way to create holding schools is to close down schools. So that scenario has to be on the table.

There aren't any suitable existing MCPS buildings that would work as a secondary holding school btw.[/quote]

They could renew/renovate Broome JHS for a middle school holding school.[/quote]
