[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to prove residency at time of admission.  There are very strict about it since they have had problems in the past.  If you are currently living in Key district when the school year starts- your child will be able to attend ASFS.  I assume if you transfer into the distric mid-year it is the same.  If you falsify documents to get him in---be warned they've caught people and have been cracking down hard as enrollment increases.[/quote]

Is this new/true for other schools, too?  I  read not too long ago that a W-L senior said there are many classmates who commute from Maryland and DC, and are using relatives' addresses.  Others were upset, but it did not seem as if the commuters needed to hide it very much, supposedly there was hardly any enforcement...?
In light of the 'capacity' issues this surprised me.[/quote]

Proving residency is basically done by showing a bill that shows the address that you say you are living at.  There is no really checking to see if you really live there or not.  You just have to have the bill.  [/quote]

They are stepping it up...you need utility bills and mortgage papers or rental contract, etc.  The capacity issue is driving it.  The more popular the school, e.g,. ASFS, the harder they crack down.  Also--there are several mailings that go to the home address and your home address is published in the school directory that all families receive.  It becomes pretty obvious who is gaming the system.  It is a Federal crime.  Parents do report.[/quote]

I'd report! I paid a shitload for my kids to attend their school. Liars increase class sizes and take away resources. Besides- there is anonymous reporting to have it checked out.[/quote]
