[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which ward are you in, PP? Are you in a position to get hold of an IB address that works for a school you’d like him to switch to? Last year, we “rented” out our basement apt to a friend in similar circumstances. She moved her kid from one Ward 6 school to another using our basement address.  She hasn’t lived in our basement, not a problem. She pulled together enrollment docs with our support.[/quote]

So.... you are encouraging residency fraud?[/quote]

Sure, when it's a gray area, like so many other things in life.  If nobody's renting a legit housing unit and a friend, the owner, is willing to let you rent it (for, say, $1) go for it, get your kid away from a dysfunctional, even dangerous, classroom situation fast. You pay DC taxes and deserve much better for your family.[/quote]

+1. NP and I totally agree. If you're planning on continuing to the feeder middle school, I'd find the cheapest short term rental you can at another feeder elementary and consider it money well spent to escape a bullying situation. Cheaper than the therapy bills you'd be paying for if his mental health is destroyed by the end of the school year. Grey area or not, your child's mental health comes first. [/quote]
