Twin Ridge Elementary School, Town <strong>of</strong> Mount Airy, MD- June 2003<br />

The Town <strong>of</strong> Mount Airy should continue to work with both Frederick and Carroll<br />

Counties to correctly estimate the number <strong>of</strong> housing units currently in the pipeline so<br />

that any anticipated need in the school system may be properly programmed in the Board<br />

<strong>of</strong> Education Capital Improvements Program. These construction numbers are becoming<br />

increasingly important because the majority <strong>of</strong> residential housing growth will occur in<br />

municipalities to be in compliance with the State "Smart Growth" initiatives. Close<br />

monitoring is necessary to amend increasing student loading. Carroll County subdivision<br />

growth directly outside the Town limits is such that monitoring <strong>of</strong> the County's Adopted<br />

CIP is also necessary to mitigate any oversight <strong>of</strong> the future school enrollments.<br />

The Town should also actively support the requirement <strong>of</strong> land dedication for a school<br />

site, as part <strong>of</strong> the approval process for new subdivision developments. This strategy<br />

should be coordinated closely so that new school construction or school expansion can be<br />

rationally based on current and future growth projections for the Town.<br />
