[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]COSAs were confirmed by the Community Liaison at our ES within the MSMC. No idea when this will be communicated to the masses.[/quote]

Has the No Transportation been confirmed?  Or is that just assumed with the COSA?  This is going to screw over so many families.  I cannot believe this crap.  They at least need to have a couple of centralized bus stops in consortium.    [/quote]

Transportation is not provided with a COSA. I don’t know why they made the change for MSMC, but I am assuming it’s due to budget. They know they can’t actually afford to do what they originally said they would do[/quote]

I'm confused - so next year's 6th graders in the MSMC will get transportation regardless of where they attend, but for 7th grade both in and out of consortium have to transport themselves?[/quote]

This sounds so unexpected/inconsistent and problematic that I wonder whether someone got their wires crossed somewhere, whether the school staff or the parent reporting this to us.   Can anyone else confirm that they heard that the MSMC is going away in 2027-2028 for in-bounds students, and they will need a COSA to stay if they're at one of the other two schools rather than their home school?

That said, I definitely don't put it past MCPS to actually make a decision this bad.  I'm just surprised given how much it conflicts with what they said just a few months ago and the fact that it has not even been hinted at at BOE meetings.[/quote]

What ES supposedly announced this?  Is there anyone from a MSMC ES or middle school who has heard differently?  If the MSMC really was officially over, I feel like it would be big news...[/quote]

MCPS has said since last summer that the MSMC is going away in 2027. Did you go to any of the in person boundary study meetings?!?[/quote]

I did, and watched virtually everything they said on this at Board of Ed meetings, and you are wrong.  They said repeatedly "nothing is changing yet for middle school programs or consortia, this is only about high school programs and consortia."  The consortia they said were going away are the high school ones, the DCC and the NEC.[/quote]

The meetings I’m talking about were not available to watch online. I’m talking about the boundary study in person meetings where you could walk around and look at various maps and data as well as speak to MCPS staff and consultants. They were very clear the MSMC was going away.[/quote]
