[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RM is very over crowded and City of Rockville is debating to put 3300 students school built for 2200 students.

RM shouldn't be compared with other two schools due to being so over crowded.[/quote]

Please don’t spread falsehoods. Technically, the city IS discussing allowing up to 3300 students in the school built for 2200; however, no reasonable projections have the school reaching 3300 in 10 years—even with additional development, which takes time to build and populate. Would it eventually get there, sure, it probably would, but the city isn’t likely to pass the vote in a couple days to permit that. It’s more likely that if anything passes, it would be the targeted raising of the limits to permit construction in the Walter Johnson cluster. [b]Less likely is the waiver to allow building downtown that will affect RM.[/b]

If you have a child that will be at RM between now and 10 years from now, expect school utilization at 120% now to 135% by the end of the 10 years. Building Crown High School will also result in major boundary changes. We can’t accurately predict which neighborhoods will go to which schools yet.[/quote]

I don't think the PP is 'spreading falsehoods' as you say.

Rockville City wants to allow additional overdevelopment, on top of the dozens of projects that are already in the pipeline.  Without any plans for schooling.

And, as for the bolded - What??  How can you say that building won't affect RM?  Of course building additional residential units will lead to additional students attending an already overcrowded school.
