[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I for one would support changing the COSA policy to tighten it across the board in any school that is over crowded. And, no, removing immersion alone won't solve the problem - but if I can take care of a chunk of a problem in one fell swoop, of course I am going to take it. 20-25 kids per year is 80-100 total. That will go a long way toward reducing over-crowding.

I have a (non-immersion) freshman at BCC in Spanish IV, and guess what? It's a mixed class of immersion/regular kids. There is no special immersion Spanish IV. In fact, even at Westland in grades 6&7 there are only 2 classes that are immersion, a special Spanish class and world studies. Their education is not that unique. You had a special program for a while, and that is what it is, but it's over at 7th grade.

I am sorry that it doesn't work to keep your kids here. And yes it will be an adjustment for your families, but it doesn't work.

And why should my kids, who live here, have to attend a grossly overcrowded school to accomodate kids who don't live here? [/quote]

What about the 4 - 5 kids that I know of who go to Westland and don't live in MoCo at all?  Or the ones at BCC who come from DC and pay tuition?!  Shouldn't MoCo kids have priority over them?[/quote]

Ummmm....If you read the first part of my post, it says "[b][i]I for one would support changing the COSA policy to tighten it across the board in any school that is over crowded[/i].[/b]" So, sure, get rid of almost all COSAs to ANY school that is overcrowded. [/quote]
