[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At work the other day, at lunch with 2 of the staff people there. One recently moved to Virginia and is applying her child to one of the best dc charters. The other life's in Maryland and was talking about relatives who drive all the way into dcps for the great services they get. She is planning to do the same with her kids. Both are pretty new to the area and I'm sure don't have dc relatives.
They were talking about it like it was such a given-not hiding It in the least. 
Is it this easy? How do they get away with it? I'm a DC resident and my kids are in dcps.

The one applying to the charter hasn't done anything wrong yet.  If the charter is popular, getting in is not guaranteed.  However, if she does get in, she'll have to move to DC and prove residency.

In principle, she could pay non-resident tuition.  In practice, every DC resident who applied would have to be offered a spot first, even those with poorer lottery outcomes.  This seems unlikely for a desirable charter. [/quote]
