[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t need to pay tuition.  MCPS does not require proof of anything - they are not allowed to because we have a large population of kids who may lack appropriate documentation.

You can use a friend’s address who lives in bounds. Much cheaper than trying to figure out a way to pay tuition!  Or just offer to pay someone to use their address.

We have quite a few kids at our ES and MS who do not live in boundary.  They use family members’ or friends’ addresses.

Also, once you get into a MS, you can automatically go to the HS that MS feed into.  [/quote]

Not true. We both teach for MCPS. To register my child, MCPS required proof of address including utility bills. When we moved from one address to another less than a half mile away, MCPS required we submit new proofs of address.  Oddly, we simply filled out a form from the internet to change our address as MCPS employees.[/quote]

+1  I just registered my kid for kindergarten in MCPS.  We had to show paystubs with our address, recent utility bills (we had to go back a second time, because they rejected one of our utility bills because it wasn't sufficiently recent).  We also showed our property tax statement.  It wasn't like you just show up with your kid in September and they take them.[/quote]

next time have your kids show up the first day of school and have none of you speak english. you'll get free food, counseling, placement tests and only have to write down an address in the language of your choice. works every time.

they absolutely take them. ask around how many kids "show up" east county the first week of school via word of mouth for MoCo daycare, I mean school. [b]sometimes they have to add teachers there are so many show ups.[/b] [/quote]

This happened at our FOCUS school this year.  New K teacher had to be hired the week before school started because so many K kids showed up at the last minute.

There is no 'verification of residency' going on.

The PP who had to show a paystub (?? never at our school have I ever shown a paystub!) cannot possibly be at our FOCUS school.  So many people work under the table, or are undocumented.  [/quote]
