Transfer Policy
The Montgomery County Board of Education is seeking public comment on
proposed revisions to Policy JEE, Student Transfers. This policy sets the
standard under which Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) students may be
granted a transfer, referred to as a Change of School Assignment (COSA), to
attend a school other than their home school or the school assigned to them
under their Individualized Education Program (IEP).
The public comment period for this policy will remain open until September
30, 2013. The Board of Education’s Policy Committee will then consider all
public comments before making a recommendation to the full Board in the fall
. Any changes made to the policy will not impact the transfer requests for
the 2013-2014 school year.
The Board of Education’s Policy Committee introduced the proposed changes
to provide clarity and consistency in the COSA policy. At the June 13 Board
of Education meeting, members of the Policy Committee expressed their
commitment to neighborhood schools and a COSA process that provides options
for students facing a unique hardship. The changes, in part, address issues
raised by community members, including concerns about overcrowding in some
MCPS schools. Board members said they have a responsibility to look at ways
to address overcrowding that do not involve capital projects, but stressed
that overcrowding was not the only consideration in suggesting changes to
Policy JEE.
Proposed changes include:
- Requiring middle school students on approved COSAs to reapply to attend
high school in the same cluster, and meeting the unique hardship standard or
one of the exceptions delineated in the policy. This would make the policy
consistent with how elementary to middle school transitions are handled.
- Clarifying the definition of sibling and the language about COSAs for
siblings whose brother or sister attends a magnet or special program.
- Clarifying language requiring all students who receive an approved COSA to
attend the new school for one year before being eligible to participate in
athletics.
- Making April 1 the firm deadline for COSA applications with limited
exceptions.
Copies of the draft policy are available through the Department of Public
Information and Web Services by calling 301-279-3391. The policy can also be
viewed on the MCPS website. Individuals who wish to provide comments should
respond in writing by September 30, 2013. All written responses should be
sent to the Office of the Superintendent of Schools, 850 Hungerford Drive,
Room 122, Rockville, Maryland 20850 or sent by email to the Board of
Education at b*[email protected]. All responses will be shared with the Board of
Education and the Superintendent of Schools.

clearly it's not just the incoming hispanic, under the guidance of the
current county executive, they are more interested in elevating the afri,
mainly targeting churchill, whitman, wsj and the big chinda favorite wootton
following the fall of rm (the victim of the last progressive movement)
