[quote=Anonymous]We bought a house at the maximum we could afford in a highly sought out MCPS high school district before we had kids.  We then had two kids with special needs.

The good news, our house has tripled in value since we bought it.  The bad news, it has been very stressful at times trying to find the financial resources to pay for private tutors, advocates, lawyers, and testing services our children needed.  Grandparents donated money at times just so we could stop fighting with MCPS and get privately what our children needed.  I often wonder in a less sought out school cluster, would we have the same problems?  Because of our zip code, we were often treated like "Well, you live in ----- so you must be able to afford to pay for xyz".  Sometimes, school administrators would even us lists of private places to go for services or say I think your child has xyz but they need educational testing that the school can't do.

After attending support meetings with other SN parents, I think MCPS is broken throughout the county.  You get what you can get, but you need to plan on having financial resources set aside for what your child will need but MCPS will not provide.  This will be the case in whatever school cluster you move to.[/quote]
