Poolesville doesn’t need a new “section”, it needs an entirely new building. The place was decrepit and out of date when I went there over 20 years ago.

Daughters went there for smacs program.

Also Seneca Valley HS up the street from me is going to be the largest HS around.

Yep, new building, state of the art, etc. BUT As I've seen in the past in WV and MD, you can give a state of the art facility to a bunch of "kids" that don't want to be there and all that happens is that the kids that DO want to be there suffer even more because they are surrounded by equipment that never gets used for it's original intended purpose.

Larger NEVER equals better with schools, it just means there's more room for malingerers and downright dangerous people who shouldn't be there in the first place with fewer administrators to handle the issues that arise which drags the overall educational value of the place down.

Nation-wide, smaller high schools almost always out-perform larger ones on a per-capita basis.

Huh, a county where they routinely elect real estate types has a problem with over crowding, who would have thunk it?

Poolesville was a Jr/Sr High School when I went (class of 77). It was Siberia for teachers in the MC school system; bad, tenured teachers couldn't be sent any farther out. When I was a senior the seventh grade class had 145 students coming in and they didn't know where to put so many students. I think my class had 74 in it.

A building refurbishment was started in 77 as it was pretty run down then.

The school system is pursuing the opening of a new high school in Bethesda by resurrecting the old Woodward High School on Old Georgetown Road

Represent!!

What is the Spanish word for "high school"?

Escuela Secondaria or Lyceo depending on which country you are from.

That means even more will be locating north in Frederick County...otherwise becoming known as Montgomery County North. I want to petition the President to build a prototype wall along the Frederick/Montgomery County line to keep out the Montgomery County refugees.

X2.

They’ll just double down on construction along I-270 and Rt. 355 corridor. It’s already at a silly level. I think Frederick is fastest growing county in the state....wish I could convince wife to move.

I've been watching the high school boundary changes with interest. My daughter will be out of Northwest before any potential boundary changes take place, but do worry about resale in a few years (when we flee to DE) if we're in the Seneca Valley High School boundary when a final decision is reached.

Depends on the location. In upper Montgomery County, it's "Santuario MS-13."

Did I not read that the MCPS budget is 3.6 billion? 3600 million?

And still not enough schools?

Fixed it for you.

I thought all of those Dreamers paid their taxes. Should be plenty of new money coming into Monkey County coffers.

The net budgetary impact of illegal immigrants is ... wait for it ... negative. But don't take my word for it.

A 2007 review of the academic literature by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that "over the past two decades, most efforts to estimate the fiscal impact of immigration in the United States have concluded that, in aggregate and over the long term, tax revenues of all types generated by immigrants—both legal and unauthorized—exceed the cost of the services they use."

Slightly dated, and lumps both legal and illegal immigrants into the same bin, which means that illegal immigrants by themselves do worse (because the legal immigrants are fully-vested in the American system.)

[...] they concluded that:

"State and local governments incur costs for providing services to unauthorized immigrants and have limited options for avoiding or minimizing those costs";
"The amount that state and local governments spend on services for unauthorized immigrants represents a small percentage of the total amount spent by those governments to provide such services to residents in their jurisdictions";
"The tax revenues that unauthorized immigrants generate for state and local governments do not offset the total cost of services provided to those immigrants"; and
"Federal aid programs offer resources to state and local governments that provide services to unauthorized immigrants, but those funds do not fully cover the costs incurred by those governments."

The Congressional Budget Office's report is attached. It pretty much says the above.

We don't want MOCO in Carroll County either. :mad54:

Carroll County really isn't building too much and we don't welcome outsiders.

I was at a Mo Co high school last year. They had a set of portable classrooms outside. It was all spanish speaking. Classess let out and it was like being south of the border. About 200-300 kids all speaking only spanish.

moco housing

They actually don’t need more housing. Many illegal families crammed into tiny apartments, basements, and sublets in Gaithersburg and Germantown.

True
I had to enter a house in wheaton. the spanish speaking owner had divided the basement up into 5 tiny jail cell size bedrooms with a ramshackle "kitchenette" setup by the exit door
In a 2 bedroom house there were at least 5 downstairs, I don't know how many upstairs. Found out from cops this situation is normal in Moco
