[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]County Council and BOE. But they will do what they want to do, and find a way to place blame on everyone but themselves. [/quote]

Council has ZERO control over class sizes.   Don't waste your time.  It's already the perennial fight between Council and MCPS.  [/quote]

The County Council is pushing all the new development despite school overcrowding. [/quote]

Which "all the new development" are you referring to, in particular?

For example, as far as I know, the most over capacity elementary schools in MCPS are Rachel Carson ES and Matsunaga ES. What "new development" is the County Council pushing in those areas? How about at Great Seneca Creek ES? Or Westover ES? Or McAuliffe ES?[/quote]

I'm not the one that wrote "all the new development", but lets start with the thouands of units going to be built around the Shady Grove Metro. The developer is required to find a new location for the MCPS Bus Depot there, but isn't being held to the agreement.

Then we can move to the entire Clarksburg area, which has so much built that Clarksburg HS will soon be undergoing their 2nd addition.

Then we can travel to the western side of the county where Crown Farm is being urbanized.

Then go slightly farther down the road where thousands on housing units are being planned for the new science triangle.

You can also check out all the new development along the ICC path (Route 28 and 97).  Two new housing developments near Magruder HS, etc....

That's all new development.[/quote]

RM district is severely overcrowded and we have been promised a 5th ES for years. JW is getting a minimal addition, RM which is brand new already has a committee formed and zoning being looked at for an addition.  But they continue to build up Park Potomac, Rockvlle Town enter, and Twinbrook urbanization. All areas that go to the cluster that has at least 4-5 portables in every school. . Ridiculous. [/quote]
