[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all who are curious, here is a full report on exactly how children are selected:

https://montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/sharedaccountability/reports/2019/Enriched%20and%20Accelerated%2028Jan2019%20FINAL.pdf[/quote]

The instructions to the admissions team say clearly intent of program is academic cohort.  [/quote]

[b]The linked PDF does NOT contain the word cohort.[/b][/quote]

But, at the bottom of page one, the last bullet that describes the changes to the process that is being described/reviewed is:
[i] "Considered the academic peer group at the home school in relation to the student’s
instructional need."[/i]

This is indeed for both Middle School magnets and CES based on my conversations with Central Office staff.   It makes sense, given the stated purpose of the program and the diverse needs across the system.  Not sure why people keep complaining and arguing about it.

It's also clearly stated in all the letters about the program - every one of them says something about meeting the needs of the student at the home school.  It's also why the letters are specific to your home school and assigned CES location.  People on COSAs have to say if they want to be considered for the program based on the school they attend (COSA) or the school they are assigned.  If it didn't matter, they wouldn't make you pick before the selection process. [/quote]
