[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is redefining anything.  Caregiver is caregiver - if the law was about "legal custody", it would say "Whoever has legal custody of the child".  That's not what it says.  It says caregiver, and caregiver is understood in pretty much all social services and family court settings (and schools) as being whoever is the primary caretaker of the child.  Whoever is seeing to the child's daily needs.

If the child does't live in DC, the child shouldn't be enrolled in a DC school, regardless of where the legal custodian or parent lives, unless there is split custody, in which case the child IS living half time in DC.  It is you who doesn't understand the legal definitions already in place.  You are wrong to think someone is switching this up all of a sudden behind everyone's back.  Why is it so hard to understand that the kid needs to live in DC, end of story?

No one is redefining anything, and everyone needs to be on notice that if the "changes" you go through in the next 12 years mean you move out of the district/your kid isn't living in the district, you can be kicked out of public school any time unless you had let them know and are paying tuition.[/quote]

Would Campbell have been allowed to enroll the child in Maryland?  She would have been required to be the child's legal guardian to enroll the child in Maryland. So if the mom has custody and is therefor the legal guardian, but Campbell is the primary caregiver, the child is SOL in both jurisdictions in his ability to receive an education. [/quote]

Sounds like his parents a eff-ups! That's no excuse to steal a seat from a DC kid with an equally compelling need. They should have sent him private. With that McMansion in Fort Wash, they could afford it. Poor AA kids that are legal residents don't have that option. Shame on that thief. I want her fine to go towards reimbursing kids that were stolen from.[/quote]
