Many residents are outraged that a brand new school in Clarksburg, Maryland in upper Montgomery County already is in need of five portable classrooms.  Little Bennett Elementary School opened with 525 students and grew throughout the year to 575 students.  With the population growing in the area because of development, more than 740 students are expected this year and it is projected to have 810 students in 2009.  The county does plan to open another elementary school in Germantown's Milestone development in 2009, which will take some students from both Cedar Grove and Little Bennet.

This is a very serious issue and demonstrates the inability of montgomery county planners. I think the reponsilbe county officials who did not do their job should be replaced with visionary staff. County's future can not be in the hands of such officials who are unable to plan for 2 years. How can the county officials are unable to anticipate the growth of the city when they are the one who are approving the number of houses to be built in the city? I think it's a simple math.
