And they are all inter-related due to the size of the population.  You have x number of kids, y number of classrooms, and z number of buildings.  You cannot reduce the class sizes without increasing the number of classrooms, and you cannot increase the number of classrooms without adding more rooms to a building.   The x number of kids is getting larger and larger in mcps.  Look at the enrollment numbers over the past several years in mcps.  It has been getting bigger and bigger, but the capacity of the buildings haven't been able to keep up.

You certainly can reduce class size without increasing the number of within-building classrooms, and MCPS actually does this, by putting classes into portables. The class size caps for schools that are over capacity are exactly the same as the class size caps for schools that are at or under capacity.

Thank you. People make so many assumptions without knowledge. People will complain about class sizes being too big, and then simultaneously complain about having so many portables. Parents should try harder to give the professionals the benefit of the doubt that they have reasons for what they do. yhe county is experiencing explosive growth and they can't build a new school every month.[/quote]
