[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have no plan. They are also not making the developwr come up with and fund an infrastructure plan.
Those are the two glaring problems. They have their hands full with the 50+ problem schools to mitigate this.[/quote]

I agree that it's clear that MCPS has no plan at all.  It's one thing if they are focused on clusters with greater academic problems than ours, but we're not talking about benign neglect here -- MCPS seems to be actively telling the planners not to bother planning for or funding any new infrastructure that would be needed if Equity One builds several hundred new units.

There's apparently some meeting to discuss these issues on March 7 at BCC (9-4...all day?)  Would be great to have a lot of parents there to raise hell about MCPS's utter failure to adequately manage the infrastructure needs in the Bethesda schools in view of the exploding growth AND plans for redevelopment at Westbard.

On Saturday, March 7, Councilmember Roger Berliner will be hosting a free public forum to identify and address the disconnects between Montgomery County’s land use planning and MCPS school planning.  Titled “Infrastructure & Growth: Are We Keeping Pace?” the forum is from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM at B-CC High School.  The morning will focus on identifying issues with current practices and policies.  The afternoon is dedicated to brainstorming potential solutions.  Members of the County Council, Planning Board and the Board of Education will be in attendance at this event and they need to hear our voices!  Registration is limited and information is provided at http://montgomerycountymd.gov/berliner.[/quote]
