Just be grateful yours is only 2. We have 21 COSA's in our overcrowded school. We have 7 portables so not sure how they allow it - but every year they do.

How on earth do you know how many COSAs are in your school?

PP could be a teacher or other staff member. At my school, we have 15 (out of 700) on COSAs and 15 students in bounds that have COSAs to other schools. Our principal likes to keep it even, if possible.

I know of a few kids who has asthma who attend my school OOB. My school has a/c and their home schools do not.

There are schools in 2015 in Montgomery County that do not have a/c? Holy crap!

not the PP but my guess is you can tell by the directory and addresses. I know a handful of parents just by getting to know them that have COSA's. I am sure we have a lot in our school. I just honestly can not figure out why some of these people need them. A few are SAHM's with no other siblings in the school and no special needs. I remember it being really hard to get a COSA but they seem to have gotten them a lot easier. What I do see is that most of them are denied going into middle school and then the kids have to go to a middle school where they know zero kids. That doesn't seem fun.

We have OOB students at our school to attend a special needs program that only our school has

No, you can't. All you can tell by the directory and addresses is that there are some people who list addresses that are not in the school attendance zone. You can't tell why.

Also, good news -- you don't have to figure out why people got COSAs, because it's none of your business anyway.

Back in the day, kids who lived in DC could attend MCPS schools if their parents paid for it out of pocket.

I can't imagine even noticing this, let alone clutching my pearls about it and imaging why scenarios.

They still can, they just have to request to enroll a nonresident student. I think the tuition is pretty high, though.

+2. Even looking at the addresses, I'm not sure I'd know who is in bounds and who isn't. I don't keep a huge map of the school district layout over my computer or anything.
