Don't let the door hit you on your way out when you finally leave!

Really.....too much time on your hands if you can do this. I am a long time resident of the DC and own 5 homes between DC and MD. Some of my cars have MD tags and other have DC. I would love for one of you parents to stop me dropping off my child so I can more than flick off giving you a piece of my mind followed by giving you my DC address to find me later, should you have questions and need further flicking off on. ,

There are many "Long Term Residents" - families that grew up here and think nothing of using parents or other extended family members addresses.

Go stand at the metro stop in Landover tomorrow morning. See how many kids are taking metro into DC for school.

As long as those "long term residents" pay their equal share of taxes then whats the issue? Gaming the system is when you take out of what you don't put it in. Who are you to determine who and who is not eligible.

DC schools aren' that good. Little too mo difference between PG and DC. Don't over shoot the academics of DC. I guess MoCo and Fairfax residents come to DC too?

If they live in MD, they aren't paying taxes to DC, and they aren't eligible to attend DC schools. The law is pretty clear.

You do realize that having cars registered in two jurisdictions is also illegal, right? You can only have primary residence in one state or territory at a time and must register cars where you have established your primary residence. This is the reason motor-voter laws work. In order to register a car, you must hold a valid license from that state or jurisdiction. If you hold more than one license, you could potentially vote in more than one state, committing voter fraud. These crimes are all linked. Tax fraud, license fraud, school residency fraud, voter fraud all stem from people not being truthful about where they legally reside.

You might not be committing school residency fraud, but you can get down off of your high horse because you are committing a crime.

From a DCPS Teacher

1. Most children attending DC public schools live in single parent/divorced parent/multiple guardianship homes. The other parent does not have to live in DC, and has a right to take their kid to school.

2. At my school we have at least 30-40 active families in the foster care system. DC does not have enough foster or group homes, meaning that temporary care providers may live in Maryland or VA. The children are Wards of DC Govt, and therefore have a right to attend a DC public school.

3. Taking pics of kids going to school is super creepy.

4. If the family takes an Uber, the plate will prob be out of state.

5. If the parent is dating someone who lives across the border, the plate may be different.

6. I repeat, taking pics of kids going to school is creepy.

I seem to remember a police report going out looking for two creepy adults taking pictures of kids on a playground of a school here.

I'd love to see the creeps here brought in for questioning.

I think the parents of higher SES, ECE children in particular vastly underestimate the number of divorced or never married families in DCPS. The number of divorces that happened among families at our charter school between 3rd and 5th grade was shocking to me (nearly 40% of families). The splits almost always wound up with one parent across the line in Maryland and another in DC with most kids staying in DC schools, at least through elementary school.

I have a vacation home in Maine, we also have a car there with Maine plates. Are you saying that is illegal? DMV asked us where the car was going to be housed.

The issue is the CUSTODIAL parent has to live in DC, but that is not enforced.

Cars housed in the District must be registered in the District. Walk the alleyways and you will see this is violated by many who park their cars on their driveways. And before you blast me, I am not talking about the MILITARY members. I am talking about fraudsters who dont want to pay the excise tax so they use their mom's address in Maryland to keep their plates.
