[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the repercussions if MCPS finds out you've used a relative's address to get your child enrolled in a different MCPS school district? Does anyone have experience with this? And if so, what is the process that MCPS uses to discover and crack down on such situations?[/quote]

MCPS is overcrowded and poorly managed. If this is a close relative who has your back and will not snitch, you can pull it off. Granted, you have to produce documentation to prove you live there. I strongly considered doing that, but decided to forego MCPS altogether. If your local school is such sh1t that you wouldn't send your child there, why send them to any of the schools in MCPS?[/quote]

OP, do NOT follow this advice. MCPS has identified families not living in the proper school zone and has removed those students from their schools mid year.[/quote]

No, they haven't. We go to an in-demand ES with several families who live in Howard County but have property in bounds for the school. This is well known - even the principal knows - and no one is doing a thing about it.

[u]OP, [/u][b]as long as you have a genuine link to the county, send your child. Trust me, no one is following up on this. If you don't have a genuine link (property, family who'd be willing to "rent" to you, etc) then yes, it's trickier. Otherwise, don't think twice. [/quote]
