[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question- if one parent lives in DC and the other in MD, can one child go to a DC school and the other attend in MD?  We are thinking of having our high schooler attend a MD school and our younger child continue at a school in DC.  I’m fuzzy on how this works.  Want to be sure we do what’s legally right.  We have split custody. [/quote]

For DC, the focus is mainly on establishing that it's the parent's residence, not the kid's: https://osse.dc.gov/page/office-enrollment-residency-supporting-families-students

They can do a home visit to make sure that your kid is actually living there (like, that they have a bed and clothes and such). But obviously they would have that, since your kid is living there part of the time.

I don't know about MD. But if the kids are truly splitting their time equally -- like, every-other-week -- MD would not be able to say they didn't want to educate them. [/quote]

Ok.  Thank you!  If we decide to do this- should we say anything to DC and/or MD that the siblings are split? Silly question, Are home visits random or should we request one?[/quote]

The way an investigation would be triggered would be likely because someone thought your forms were weird or because someone reported MD plates at dropoff. I don't think this would be helped if you told the principal that one parent lives in MD and the kids are split? And there's nowhere on the OSSE form to say this and really no need to.

If they want to do a home visit, they'll tell you. [/quote]
