[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it seem possible to anyone else that this is part of a bigger plan on overcrowding by MCPS? The schools on the West side of the county are much more overcrowded than the schools on the East side or the North of the county. Some school population shifts seem like they would be helpful. For example, relieve some pressure on Pyle by shifting kids to Westland. Remove some pressure on BCC MS #2 by shifting population to SS. Remove some pressure on SS by shifting population farther East and North. I don't understand why the "overcrowding" camp on this thread thinks that this is the end of the process to address overcrowding instead of the beginning. [/quote]

I wish I believed that, but I've seen the overcrowding report and there are no big solutions.  Paving the pool at Piney Branch.  Shifting 100 kids from one ES to another.  No big fixes, and no concern at all for the thousands of new, high-end, family-sized apartments/condos going into downtown Bethesda and Silver Spring. Those aren't even counted. [/quote]

Agree, there are no big fixes.  As for the comment about the overcrowding of schools in the west, according the MCPS, the high schools are all above seat capacity.  The superintendent also acknowledge Downtown Bethesda Development in his background.  [/quote]
