[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every other school with that kind of overenrollment has some kind of plan. Some have capacity studies to determine what to do next.  [/quote]

My child's school was in an 18 month capacity study.  Eleven out of 12 schools got additions, they decided to study our school for another 18 months and compare it to a different set of schools.  It is over capacity. My child eats lunch at 1:05[/quote]

Are you surprised?  The BOE is spending taxpayer funds using their credit cards and no one cares.  Starr is running the level of education down with C 2.0 and no one cares.  Elect the same bozos back to the BOE for more of same or stop complaining and vote for change.[/quote]

Actually, the issue is Legget and the County Council. For example, they are responsible for delaying funding for the 5th elementary school in Montgomery County being delayed. Around 2013, the Board of Education recommended that the 5th elementary school be built in 2015. Legget and the Council decided to delay it until 2017 (though to be clear 2017 was the original date). Then this year, the Council announced the project would be delayed another year to 2018. It's why I'm skeptical that it will ever be done.

So, you're right that elected officials are to blame. But it should be directed at the County Council that controls the money and decides who gets new schools, even if they are under capacity, like Beverly Farms was and still is, and which ones have to wait and wait and wait. [/quote]
