[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No school in the Churchill or Whitman cluster has portables.  [b]The rest of the county is exposed while those clusters are protected in their gleaming new facilities.[/b][/quote]

The people that live in those two clusters and their taxes probably pay for 70% of the county taxes.  They also don't have urban areas and built up apartments, condos or many townhomes.  Stop bitching about them.  Why don't you start complaining to those that do not pay taxes at all?

And last I checked, Churchill is not gleaming.  Northwest, RM, BCC, Gaithersburg and other high schools are a lot nicer.

Now can we get back to the topic?  [/quote]

I am very confused about the connection between paying taxes and living in urban areas (for example, Bethesda).

Churchill was renovated/modernized in 2001. Northwest was built in 1998 (with an addition in 2006). Richard Montgomery was modernized in 2007. B-CC was renovated/modernized in 2001. Gaithersburg is brand-new as of 2013, and the building looks lovely -- why don't you move and send your children there? Or Paint Branch, new as of 2012?[/quote]

RM was brand new as of 2007, not modernized.  I think the point is many other schools are GLEAMING better than Churchill and the county doesn't give special attention to those clusters.  They aren't having the growth the other areas are so why would they have portables?   In the last 10-15 years there has been Kendlands, Lakelands, Kings Farm, Fallsgrove, Clarksburg, Boyds, Rockville Town Center, Park Potomac, Crown, Strathmore, new condo/apartment construction along 355, 28, Darnestown Rd. North Bethesda, Twinbrook etc...    Huge populations in a smaller locations and maybe 1 or 2 new schools to go along with it.  This would be a non-issue if they agreed with the multi-million dollar builders to BUILD schools when making these massive new developments.  They chose not to and now they are scrambling year after year to keep up.  They can not budget, prioritize or do anything in advance.  They wait until the shit hits the fan and then whines.
