[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You apply to the Blair SMAC or CAP magnets separately and those are awarded based on merit.

Then for the DCC you rank your top choices: if you do nothing, you'll be assigned t your zoned school. If you rank a different school higher, you may be assigned to it. So that's how you'd get into Blair, possibly, without getting into a magnet.

I don't know what happens if you get into a non-zoned school in the DCC and say "screw it I'm heading back to my home school." I don't think they could prevent you from doing that, but I may be wrong. [/quote]

I don’t think you have a right to return to your home school [/quote]

While officially this is what MCPS says, the reality is different. If your child lotteries into a different school in the choice process and then decides they want to return to home school, the principal of your home school can let them back in. I know two kids who have done this (they principal asked them to write a letter explaining why they wanted to be reassigned to home school--it was not a difficult process). If that didn't work, I also imagine you can unenroll from mcps, then re-enroll your kid and automatically be assigned to home school. Now that would be a PIA. But still an option. My kids attended schools with a lot of foreign families who would unenroll and re-enroll a couple of times a year, so it must be something that mcps is familiar with.[/quote]

If transportation is not provided, I don't know how a public school system is going to say you can't return to the school that provides transit. [/quote]

Not really their problem when someone consents to forgo this.[/quote]
