Is this residency fraud?

That’s the same as what OP is proposing to do.

If you and kid stay there during the week, sure. I may do this for MS. But that basically implies you're separating from your spouse.

Let’s say we “stay there” for an hour after school. We always sleep EOTP. Same as OP. Still ok?

No, obviously not.

You guys are just pissed off that the mom can do this because she has the dough (and, presumably, you don't), and, apparently, the moxie to kill two birds with one stone, as she says.

I'm not going to judge because I can't see how anybody but a suburban realtor accrues the benefit of an UMC mom like her bailing from Shaw, probably for N VA or MoCo.

I really don't care, not sure why she has to post on here. Just do it...

There aren’t a lot of studio apartments in the Janney district. And that’s probably a good thing, if they were to be used as fraud pads. We are more of an owner - occupied SFH community, which fosters a strong sense of community cohesion and ‘giving a damn.’ That in turn is one of the reasons why Janney is such as successful school.

Yes, her moxie blocks the chance for another kid with a more honest parent from getting that spot OOB. I would rather the dishonest people move to another jurisdiction. You would fit nicely into that category. But I guess you are part of the problem too.

I assume you use your kid’s free metro card, too. Why not?

If I was going to be annoyed but this it would be because we could easily afford to do this but don’t because we aren’t immoral assholes.

Maybe not, but you're a sanctimonious asshole.

If OOP wants to buy and maintain two homes in the District to help her multi-generational family, paying taxes, I'm OK with that.

Well, luckily for us, you don’t make the laws in DC.

And you are OK with a poor kid losing a chance because of OP’s/your lack of ethics.

If you truly want to prioritize creating better educational opportunities for poor kids in this city, I can think of a dozen better ways to proceed than obsessively trying to shame owners of multiple family residential properties looking to stay in the public school system like OP.

You could start by lobbying like mad to get Grosso off the city council, or at least the committee on education. You could also campaign like crazy to get an education-minded mayor back in.

Irrelevant what I do or don't do here. OP can take advantage of loophole in the law as written. You're furious because you can't stop her. Get a life.

I am sure I could but you aren’t answering the question at hand. None of those in favor of fraud are andwering it.

What about that honest family?

There is no loophole. If OP is reported her children will be removed from the WOTP school.

OP is cheating. There’s nothing laudable about that.

But agree that Grosso should go.

Yes there is and no the child won't. Give us one example of when this has ever happened. You can't because there is none.

If another parent calls the DCPS residency fraud tips line or complains to admins WOTP, they will likely be ignored. But if OP is ever investigated by DCPS, she will be given a chance to provide extra residency verification documents, including certified tax returns, all of which she will have. If a school registrar or investigators do a home visit, they will see the kid's stuff in the condo and the mom will be cleared. Having been through this process myself, when I was divorcing and living in a small condo, I know the drill. You're just plain wrong.
