Over 20 Unused Public School Sites controlled by Montgomery County Government

Here is a partial list of closed MCPS schools.  

There are over 20 properties on this list, each representing a former MCPS school that was closed when enrollment declined. These former MCPS schools are currently under the control of Montgomery County government.  We know that at least 2 of these school buildings will have empty classrooms this year.

Now that enrollment has increased have any of these sites been evaluated for re-opening?  Public school construction funds already paid to build these public school buildings, but they aren't benefiting public school students in need of classroom space today. 

Where is the long range planning for public school classrooms? That process was gutted in 2005. Why do any long range planning? 


Read what Montgomery County has to say about closed school sites at this link(June 2017 Update:  Montgomery County has taken down this link since this blog post was written. The link now goes to an archived screen shot of the County's website page on unused school sites and buildings.)
