[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard the two leading candidates are Nolte Park and Parkside Elementary School. Losing Nolte would be a huge blow to the entire downtown Silver Spring area.

I very much maintain that the current SCES is fixable and not as bad as they say it is. I would much prefer they renovate and not turn it into a holding school. There's no reason one of the densest (if not the densest) neighborhoods in Montgomery County should have to be the host of the county's holding schools. It makes no sense.

The current SCES is the back end of a 100-year old school that has not been maintained. The school runs lunch from 10 am to 2 pm, because of its small cafeteria. It has poor indoor air quality and is overcapacity. The roof is old. The HVAC is breaks down regularly. The playground is small and because of that, has a dirt surface. Students need to walk through a parking lot with poor sight lines to get to the bathroom if they are at recess. I could go on...

I'm guessing you like the school because your child walks to school and that is the most important thing to you.[/quote]
