Atlanta parents camp out for coveted pre-k spots
by Laura Diamond
It was just after midnight Monday when Jackie and Michael Cottrell parked their 40-foot motor home across the street from Mary Lin Elementary School. Their plan was simple: Camp out to make sure Skyler gets into the highly coveted pre-k program at the school in Atlanta's Candler Park. Even if that meant spending three days and three nights in the camper until registration begins Thursday.
