I agree. And, forget throwing good money after bad on more IB programs. They are too expensive. We need very small class sizes and strong academic supports in ESs with FARMS rates that are higher than 30%. [b]Let FARMS students COSA into any low FARMS rate school they want.[/b] Few will take advantage of this, but some families will. For MS and HS students who are significantly below grade level focus on graduating from HS (either diploma or GED) and career readiness.[/quote]

This is BS.  Any student  (FARMS or non-FARMS) from a low-FARMS rate school should be allowed to COSA into any low FARMS rate school they want, as long as the FARMS rate of the new school is lower than their home school.  No transportation should be provided to such students.

This will automatically make the class sizes smaller for the school with the higher FARMS rates.

Non-FARMs students need to stay in school with higher FARMs and not leave.

FARMs students leaving a high FARMs school and attending a low FARMs school will help with SES diversity.

I know DCC MCCPTA group may not want this outcome, but this is the most logical outcome if MCPS wants to increase SES diversity voluntarily. MCPS should allow FARMs kids to take COSA in any school as long as capacity exists.
