Takoma Park Middle School Addition
Montgomery County Public Schools is undertaking a Feasibility Study regarding pedestrian and traffic flow of the Takoma Park Middle School site, interior changes, and impact on the community. Preliminary Plans were submitted to the City in July 2018 as part of the mandatory referral process.
Piney Branch Elementary School Addition and the Pool
The Montgomery County Public School 2017-22 CIP lists PBES as a location for the expansion of classrooms to meet growing demand for space. The expansion raises concerns about preservation of the swimming pool located at Piney Branch Elementary School.
