[quote=Anonymous]We applied in 2012 and were approved.   Our offical reason was transportation - we work FT and can't meet the bus.  The unofficial reason was day care - the day care DC has been at for 3 years buses to and from a ES.

We included a letter from the day care director documenting the transportation and DC's history at day care, and noting we have another child in their program

We were approved.

Despite the letter I agonized over forever,  I genuinely believe the real reason we were approved was the size of the schools.  Our official school is overcrowded, and actually set to be torn down/remodeled in the next 1-2 years.  Our desired school is underutilized.

To be honest, we shouldnt have bene approved.  Our zoned school has several before/after cares that bus to the school, they shoudl have told us just ot switch day cares.    I realize we 'worked the system' and probably shouldnt have (our zoned school is 'bad' our desired school is excellent)

That said, I am THRILLED with it - DC is in a much better school and I save an hour out a day with both kids in the same day care.  I will not say a peep to MoCo schools about it until both kids are out of ES (#2 gets to go there just because #1 is!)
