On the future school site directly across Cavanaugh Drive from Potomac Glen, the Willows of Potomac, and Lakewood Estates, near Shady Grove Rd and Piney Meetinghouse Rd.
How many buses are we talking about?
Information shared with residents indicates 250+ school buses, plus ~250 employee vehicle parking spots, diesel refueling, and maintenance facilities.
Why Jawando & Sayles first?
Residents organizing this campaign believe these two councilmembers may be the most persuadable. Focusing initial outreach there is intended to make the strongest case to the votes most likely to move.
Should I email all of them?
Yes — please do, especially after sending the priority email. Every councilmember votes on the budget.
Can I personalize the email?
Absolutely — and personalization helps. Add your name, your street, how long you've lived here, and one specific concern that matters most to you.
Can renters and nearby residents email too?
Yes. Anyone who lives in, works near, or regularly travels through the area is welcome to share their concerns. You don't need to live in any specific neighborhood.
