[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, nothing is keeping you from moving IB for the school you want and having your mom live nearby. Nothing is keeping you from sending your kid to school in Shaw and buying a place for your mother to live near you.

But if you do what you're planning to do I hope someone reports it and your child is disenrolled from the WoTP school.[/quote]

Not happening. Somebody could report OP but her child won't be disenrolled if she can produce extra residency docs within a few days.

OSSE goes at low-hanging fruit, e.g. PG County address cheaters, not a DC resident like OP with a strong legal case.  Even if OSSE was to do a home visit, which they almost never do for DC residents, OP could bring extra toys and kids clothes over to mom's for an investigator to photograph and things would be fine.

Maybe. But OP does not actually have a strong legal case FYI. [/quote]

I'm a lawyer (USG, 20 years) and DCPS parent who disagrees.  I've taken a hard look at DC laws on school residency and domicile, and minor changes to them, over the last four or five years. It's clear to me that if OP acquires both appropriate residency and domicile documents in the address of her condo before enrolling her child in a DCPS program, and the unit remains in the hands of nuclear family members (both as owners and occupants) while her child attends DC public schools,  I see a strong legal case, if not an airtight one.[/quote]

Are you a Michael Cohen lawyer who helps people to structure fraud?![/quote]
