proof of residency question

[Anonymous]

You legally attest that the address is your child's domicile (ie home) on the forms. If it's not her home, you can't sign it. Renting a room or buying the house don't make it her domicile. Or you could just ask the school principal.

Didn't some woman in CT go to jail for using her dad's address to enroll her dd in the public school in the grandfather's district? Seems like this would be the same exact thing.

Who will question it? And opt out for including your dets in the school directory generated from the PTA.

Yes, people break the law all the time. It's still illegal and wrong. You sound like a wonderful role model for your kids.

Oh, and no playdates at your house.

Just for a few years; no biggie.

It is when you force your child to lie. You either tell them they need to lie or they are absolutely going to spill the beans at some point.

Teaching a child to lie. How often does one kid ask another kid their address, and then they report back to a parent?

OP, if you're here asking if it's OK to use your mom's address for a school, I'd wager that you don't have the moxie to pull this off. In these situations, my advice would to be pay your DC taxes where you like, as long as a family member owns the house and it's not rented out. Nobody's business but yours where you sleep. Collect a stack of residency docs in case you're investigation for residency fraud, and don't advertise where your residency situation at the school you use. If you get investigated, switch houses with your mom til things blow over. If you need your choice validated by non family members, you're not cut out for this shades-of-gray approach to residency. The holier than though moralists on these threads are blowhards who deserve to be ignored.

Ah, Gresham's Law has come to DCPS. Bad actors pushing out the good. Pathetic. I hope enforcement comes at some point, but am not holding my breath.

Well the blacks aren't moving wotp

I see racist grandma is participating.

I’d much rather live in a world of your so-called “blowhards” and “moralists” than in a world of cheaters and scammers like you, PP.

I respect you for at least detailing how this is fraudulent. What annoys me is when people claim it isn't.

Y’all ain’t any better than the celebrity college scammers. Maybe you’re worse because you’re cutting off opportunity earlier for young kids that don’t have the luxury of cheating

If I understand correctly once my child is in a school we can move elsewhere within DC and remain at that school. If so what is the minimum amount of time I need to be domiciled in boundary before I move out of boundary?

This is incorrect. You must demonstrate your residence qualifications every school year.

Fradulent, whatever. We use a property we jointly own w/grandparents as our IB address. We renovated the house extensively, mainly through sweat equity and love the place. Kids stay there often. We tune out the small number of school busybodies whisper about us. DCPS investigated us and cleared us years back. If you want to use a relative's address for IB, have the good sense not to talk about it, and to keep your chin up. In the grand scheme of things, you pay plenty in taxes to the City and even the best DCPS schools are no great prize, OP.

You’re a horrible person. Your ridiculous sense of entitlement harms people.
