Montgomery County schools have grown by more than 6,000 students in the last three years, with continued growth expected.  Student enrollment is increasing not only in newly developing areas but also in some more established areas of the county.  Where is the growth coming from in the next decade?  What does this growth mean for MCPS and the county as a whole? In this panel, representatives from MCPS’s Division of Long Range Planning and from the Montgomery County Planning Board will discuss how they are addressing this growth and planning for adequate schools in the future.        

- Trends in MCPS enrollment over the past few years

- Role of the Planning Board

-  Impact of Growth        

- MCPS Additions and Capacity Projects

- Accuracy of enrollment projections

This fascinating hour of conversation will be facilitated by Steve Augustino, MCCPTA's Capital Improvement Program Committee Chair, and will include time for Q&A from the audience.  We will therefore begin promptly at 6:30 and end by 7:30.
