For Immediate Release: Friday, March 10, 2006
“The County Council and the Montgomery County Public Schools will work together on a new approach to alleviating school overcrowding in the elementary schools in the Churchill Cluster.
“The Council and the School Board had earlier endorsed a new Kendale site for Seven Locks Elementary School, believing it was the best way to address the needs of both the Seven Locks community and the Potomac Elementary School community. However, the Potomac Elementary School PTA recently rescinded its previous support for a new Kendale site. Given this change in the community’s position, the Council and MCPS resolve to work together to explore all options.
“Toward that end, a joint task force of Council and MCPS staff will begin meeting immediately to work out the details and plans involved in moving forward. We hope to bring a revised Capital Improvements Program amendment incorporating this change before the Council’s Education Committee on March 23.”
