Marks Outlines Overcrowding Concerns in Letter to Superintendent
The Fifth District Councilman is calling for a third "outreach session" in northeast Baltimore County to come up with ways to ease overcrowding issues.
Chapel Hill Elementary School will exceed student capacity by at least 200 students next year, according to Baltimore County Councilman David Marks.
The Fifth District Councilman sent a letter last week to Baltimore County Public Schools Superintendent S. Dallas Dance in an attempt to arrange a third public outreach meeting to identify possible solutions to Perry Hall's overcrowding issues.
"I am simply asking for the same type of forward-looking process that we now see in southwestern and central Baltimore County," said Marks, who also represents Towson. "School overcrowding has been a chronic problem in the northeast, and it's time for action."
