[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know there are many posts/threads dealing with COSA's for parents wanting to send their children to schools outside of their assigned school area.  However, we are dealing with a different situation.  My soon to be 9th grader was assigned to JFK via the choice program (M. Blair was first choice).  Since that time, we have purchased a home in the Blair HS assignment area, and assumed that would be her new home school.  Apparently, we have to submit a written request to change her assigned school.  Has anyone dealt with this situation?  I hope it is a mere formality, as our new home is within sight and walking distance to Blair HS, and would preclude any need for bussing, keep her in a school with other children in her neighborhood, etc.

Any comments or anecdotes would be appreciated.

Thanks.

1.  Choice Process:
http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/downcounty/choice/detail.aspx
Students are guaranteed assignment to their base area high school if (1) it is the base school indicated as first choice on the Choice form or (2) indicated as a second choice and the first choice school is not available

2.  And you're SURE you're w/in the Blair Cluster boundaries?  Check below by typing in address.
