[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RCF no longer goes to BCC. This just in from the board. Do not choose rcf for the high school feeder program.  Assume you will go back to your home high school. [/quote]

This is not true.  Please stop spreading disinformation.[/quote]

This is true, unfortunately.

The Montgomery County Board of Education has proposed amendments to Board Policy JEE, Student Transfers, and is seeking public comment on the amendments.

Currently students who have completed an elementary school immersion program may complete a Notice of Intent form to continue to the aligned middle school immersion program. Under the prior policy language, students attending middle school on a COSA were granted an automatic articulation to a high school in the same feeder pattern.   Students attending middle school immersion programs were permitted to articulate to the high school within the feeder pattern of the middle school that housed the immersion program in accordance with the language that permitted students attending middle school on a COSA to articulate to the feeder high school.

Under the draft policy recommended by the Policy Management Committee and tentatively acted upon by the full Board, the automatic articulation will no longer be an option starting with students who enter 6th grade in the 2020-2021 school year.  The “grandfathering provision” enables students who entered middle school with the expectation that they would be able to articulate to the high school in the feeder program to articulate as planned.

MCPS does not offer a high school immersion program. Students who wish to attend a high school other than their home school may apply for a COSA under any applicable provision of Policy JEE, Student Transfers or they may apply to attend countywide programs, regional programs, or other programs specifically identified by the superintendent of schools.  More information about those programs may be found at https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/schoolchoice/

Additional highlights of the Board's amendments include the following topics:

unique hardships that may qualify students for transfers based on family circumstances;
extenuating circumstances related to the medical, emotional, or social well-being of a student;
clarification of the provision for receiving a transfer based on a sibling's school of attendance;
conditions for approving transfers of children of staff members;
academic transfers for high school students; and
Draft Board Policy JEE is now available for public comment until December 15, 2019. https://mcpsweb.wufoo.com/forms/rsq9fj00dpls38/
