1. Better odds does not mean for certain. Given the history of this project no one should assume it will be done in 2018.

2. [b]MCPS has not said how many kids from each school will move to the new school.[/b] I may be mistaken, but I haven't seen that number. MCPS should disclose that information so parents will know if their schools will still be over capacity (with some relief) after the new school opens.

3. If Cold Springs is being underutilized then yes, they should put kid from other schools like Richie Park. It's a waste. Oh but that would lead to overcrowding at Frost and Wootton--perish the thought. Certainly we can't allow that cluster to see any overcrowding. [/quote]

I assume that they haven't said this, because they don't officially know it yet, because they haven't done the boundary study yet.

If they did say it before the boundary study, everybody would be screaming about MCPS's lack of transparency and community involvement.

And if the new elementary school does open in 2018, do you really want to put kids in Cold Spring ES for four years? What do you think parents would say, if MCPS said, "Your child who is now in Ritchie Park is going to Cold Spring for four years. But they're not going to go to Frost or Wootton, and if they're still in elementary school in 2018, we'll move them back to a RM cluster elementary school, and if you have other children in elementary school in 2018 or after, they won't go there either, because this plan is for four years only."?[/quote]
