So here is a head scratcher look at the capacity projections for Seneca Valley. It is currently under capacity by 146 yet MCPS is spending money to do an expansion which will wait for it...make it under capacity by 1,280 in 2024.

How is that not complete mismanagement of funds when schools further south and east are bursting at the seems. Clearly the trend is that fewer people want to live up near Seneca Valley and use their schools so why spend precious resources making it bigger when there is so much need elsewhere. Does one of the board members live up there or something?[/quote]

[quote]The expansion at Seneca Valley is to handle the overcrowding at Northwest and Clarksburg. The numbers look like that because the boundaries have not yet been redrawn.[/quote]

[quote]Yup, there is massive overcrowding in the Clarksburg Elementary schools.[/quote]

[b]Do people in Clarksburg WANT to go to Seneca Valley[/b]? Why wouldn't they just expand Clarksburg HS if it is so popular? Why spend money to build capacity at an under capacity, unpopular school and then try to force bus kids there instead of expanding the school lots of people are already choosing? This could backfire big time and people might just move away.

They don't need another career readiness program with all the other needs out there so spending even more money on Seneca Valley to build something that may not be a draw anyway is even dumber. [/quote]

entitled much?  We live in the Northwest boundary and might be redistricted to Seneca Valley. We'll deal with that when/if it happens.  And this is not news - its been on the radar for a couple years.[/quote]
