[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

The focus is also on paying DC tax.  If one parent files in DC you're good in the District for schools.[/quote]

Presumably that is the case here but they still want a home visit.  So, apparently that is not enough.[/quote]

We had a home visit five years ago.  In "our" front yard (actually my retired parents' DC house).  We never let the DCPS investigator in, which wasn't a problem.  [/quote]

Did you just lie to them about you residency?  Were you paying DC taxes?[/quote]

If the system has time to schedule a home visit but not time to check whether they are paying DC taxes, even though that is part of the enrollment process every year, that is a system fault.[/quote]
