[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone else heard about this? MSMC and DCC students will need a COSA to stay at their current school (if it isn’t their home school) when the new boundaries take effect in 2027? And this likely means no transportation will be provided.

Fortunately, we planned for our rising 6th grader to attend their home MSMC school because we don’t trust MCPS. However, I warned anyone who would listen about things like this being a possibility, especially during the budget crunch.

Where did you see this?  MCPS said many times that all students in consortia starting next year or earlier will be grandfathered in and allowed to stay until they finish, and that transportation will be provided.  That's why they keep talking about how expensive transportation will be for the next 4 years while the grandfathered students are getting the transportation.[/quote]

I never hard the word “consortia”. I heard Taylor say “regional programs” which I interpreted to mean Eastern and TP magnets [/quote]

No, they have pretty consistently mentioned the consortia alongside the existing programs together when it comes to grandfathering.  For example, on the current FAQ, "3. Will my student be able to continue with their program if we have already started a centrally managed or consortia program?
Yes. Students entering grades 8 in 2025-2026, who have been accepted into a centrally managed application program or assigned to a consortium, may remain in their current program/school."  https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/academic-programs-analysis/faqs/[/quote]
