Which is not fair.  [b]No offense but the school was built FOR the Kentands and Lakelands area.[/b]  They knew there were going to be a lot of kids in that area when they built it.  To add even more kids to make the SES numbers better and keep the school at double the capacity is insane.  There are TWO under-capacity schools closer to them that they can go to.  No one in walking distance to an elementary school should get moved because of SES numbers.  MCPS has got to come up with a better plan.  [/quote]

No, that is not how school zoning works. Rachel Carson ES is not the school for Kentlands/Lakelands people only. The kids of people who live in the Government Square apartments are as legitimate at Rachel Carson as the kids of people who live in Kentlands/Lakelands.

I also don't know what the TWO under-capacity schools are that you're referring to. Brown Station is over capacity, Fields Road is at or over capacity, and Diamond is over capacity.[/quote]

Dufief is at 70% and Fields is not at capacity yet.  Even still, they are 4 miles away from a school that is 160% at capacity and closer to multiple schools that are not.  No is saying the school is only for Kentlands/Lakelands but it was built in their neighborhood for those neighborhoods being built.  To be that overcrowded and still busing kids in from locations that far away is insane.  [/quote]
