The is the standard County Council response to citizens who claim we cannot handle all the new development that the Council is so eager to have here. We can easily handle the natural generational turnover in real estate. Councilmember representing Potomac/Chevy chase/Bethesda is the worst offender in making such false claims.

We evidently can't easily handle the natural generational turnover in real estate, given that the schools are currently over capacity due largely to natural generational turnover in real estate. Or, if you believe that this is false and new development is the reason why the over-capacity schools are over capacity, then please provide the data to support your claims.

You could start with Burning Tree ES. Here's the service area map:

Burning Tree has a capacity of 379, and this year the enrollment was 492. Which new development(s) caused the over-capacity enrollment at Burning Tree?
