Ignore the PP, OP.

There is no rule that stipulates that lottery applicants be DC residents at the time of the lottery

You can enter the lottery using your MD address, but it is unlikely you will get spot.  Even if you do, there is a chance that the DC residents who apply to the school after the lottery cut-off will be admitted before you are.

Instead, enter the lottery using the address of your DC rental property.  If you get a spot, you will have to move back to DC before the cut-off date for residency verification.  If you decide not to move back into your rental property, you can use your new DC address to prove residency. [/quote]

You are utterly full of crap.  Every charter I applied to required that I provide a DC address AND proof of residency.  Bottom line OP is that DC public charter schools are for the children of DC residents.  Sorry.  If you don't like it, move to DC.[/quote]

And enforcement of this is increasing.  Especially at the more in-demand charters.  If you do not apply with your true current address, get in on a DC address (even if you own it), and anyone (the school, other parents) find out you were not honest, the school has the right to yank your kid immediately.  Some schools react much faster than others, but they all have the right to react.

Either move back to DC or apply with your MD addy.  [/quote]
