[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is getting ridiculous.  Dufief right across the street is 70% capacity.  We are at 160%  What gives?    [b]Can they not at least give parents the option to move their child. [/b] [/quote]

You have the option. Apply for a Change of School Assignment (COSA). Here is the form:

Fields Road ES is also close and was under capacity last year; you could try for a COSA there, too.

Also, it would be rezoning. The school district is MCPS.[/quote]

Sorry but you have to state a hardship for a COSA and most of them are not approved, at least the first time.  I am talking about giving people in neighborhoods close to another school under capacity, the option to attend that other elementary school - deadline is June 1st for the following year.  If it does not feed into the same middle school, you still have to go back to your assigned middle school unless you reapply.  I just think doing this can temporarily ease some of the congestion at schools like College Gardens, Beall, Rachel Carlson, Ritchie Park etc... [/quote]
