[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they make Crown HS as a holding school, can families living within walking distances attend Crown HS ( does not matter which HS take over)? Using COSA or whatever? Crown HS is supposed to be their neighborhood school. [/quote]

The answer would most likely be no, since again, if it's a holding school, it's not actually a neighborhood school.

It would be Wootton @ Crown, Damascus @ Crown, etc. That's how they handled Northwood while it's been housed at its holding school, Woodward.

Northwood @ Woodward: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/northwoodhs/homepage/northwood--woodward/[/quote]

Not to mention that a student on a COSA to whatever school is @Crown based on PP's idea could wind up being part of multiple schools across their 4 years. I think the renovations or rebuilds often take 2-3 years.[/quote]

The mayor of Gaithersburg proposed a hybrid model tonight, where Crown could serve as a holding school while also serving as a walkable school for the neighborhood students. I think that would mean those neighborhood students would be considered students of Damascus @Crown, for example.[/quote]

I am confused as to how this would work.  The renovations cant possibly take 4 years so its highly improbable that Damascus for example would be using the Crown building for 4 years.  Would those nearby, walking families just essentially attend multiple high schools over 4 years with no say as to who moves into the building?  What would their transcripts look like?  How would they be expected to have working professional relationships with staff, counseling, and admin?  What would athletics look like?  Would their walking COSA automatically expire and force the students to finish school at Damascus?[/quote]
