[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve always heard it’s so hard to get a COSA but we are in the Wootton cluster and there’s a family with 3 kids who lives outside the cluster but who has managed to get one for all 3 kids at each school level. This family has no apparent hardship. One parent is an MCPS teacher but in a different cluster and I’ve been told that’s not a factor. We live a block from the school boundary (just within and they are just outside which is how we know them). Also we know of 2 kids who got COSAs to go from Wootton to Churchill. There could have been disabilities involved but we knew the kids well so I don’t think that was it. Obviously it wasn’t childcare related in HS. So people definitely have success and I think you shouldn’t be discouraged if you feel you have a genuine need. [/quote]

You have NO idea what family's hardships are.  Some may just say they easily got them because they don't wish to discuss why.  My child had a harassment incident that resulted in juvenile charges on another child in the school, so both my kids can now attend the new school.  We don't discuss it as my child wants to move on, so we just say we applied for closer/better school if anyone nosy asks.  If no one asks, we don't talk about it at all.  [/quote]
