[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm pretty sure that moving house mid-year is one of the few circumstances where MCPS is almost certain to approve a COSA. It will only be valid through the end of this current school year, but it's still better than nothing. Look into it ASAP.[/quote]

This is true.  If you file a COSA it will be granted for you to stay in your current school thru the end of the year.  Possibly you could get one more year, if moving to your new school meant your child would be in that school for only one year before they have to move yet again.  Since I think you said your chid is already in 6th grade, it doesn't sound like and extra year would be given, but you will definitely get thru the end of the year.  File the COSA and you should hear back in 3-4 weeks.

Also, if your child has an IEP or 504 plan, that will move with him to the new school which will be obligated to implement it.  As part of the IEP process, you can sometimes request placement in certain schools that are not your home school if serves the needs of the child in the IEP.  For example, if your chid is evaluated and identified as GT/LD, then he might get placed at one of the middle schools with GT/LD programs.  [/quote]
