Using relative's address to get child into different school district in MCPS

[Anonymous]

What are the repercussions if MCPS finds out you've used a relative's address to get your child enrolled in a different MCPS school district? Does anyone have experience with this? And if so, what is the process that MCPS uses to discover and crack down on such situations?

Your child will have to leave midyear.

The pupil personnel worker may do a home visit if they can't verify residency.

Didn't Andrea Zuckerman do this in Beverly Hills 90210?

MCPS is overcrowded and poorly managed. If this is a close relative who has your back and will not snitch, you can pull it off. Granted, you have to produce documentation to prove you live there. I strongly considered doing that, but decided to forego MCPS altogether. If your local school is such sh1t that you wouldn't send your child there, why send them to any of the schools in MCPS?

I have never heard of this happening.

You likely have to pay back tuition as an out of district student. Worse yet, your kids will be booted and you have to tell them you lied.

+1 they can't keep up with what's happening/ not happening within the schools, how are they going to go after liars?

My MIL was a school secretary in MCPS for 35 years. She said it happened more than you would think. The school administration has to report any suspicion that the child doesn't live at that address. So you just have to be a good liar.

Just have your child actually live at that address for more than 50 percent of the time.

They will not need to pay tuition unless they do not live in moco.
