[quote=Anonymous]Only 120 students?  Mr. Song is incorrect.  I toured the Ewing Center, and the principal (Dr. Thomas) told me that the school's population is constantly in flux because of the 45-day Interim Placement Program.  From Dr. Starr's CIP (Chapter 4, "Other Educational Facilities"):

"In addition to the middle and high school programs, the 45-day Interim Placement Program serves students in grades 6–12 receiving special education services. Students are placed in the program after a central office review and as a result of their involvement with controlled substances, serious bodily injury, and/or weapons. Students remain enrolled in their home school, and the home school provides daily assignments and assessments."

Dr. Thomas told me that there could be well over 300 students in the school at any one time.  In addition, MCPS has already stated their intention to grow the Alternative Education Programs, so who knows how may students there will eventually be?  400?  More?

Sadly, Dr. Starr and the Board of Education _still_ have not reached out to the affected communities to address their concerns... and talk of weapons and bodily injury is, of course, going to raise concerns.  Instead, MCPS has resorted to a nasty PR campaign to try to smear area residents.  That's just lame.[/quote]
