[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just google FCPS residency and you can read the rules.

“Physical presence of the parent in the residence of the child is required for tuition-free enrollment in FCPS.”[/quote]

Rules or policies? Anyone can make a policy, but policies aren’t necessarily rules.[/quote]

From the Virginia Code:
22.1-264.1. Misdemeanor to make false statements as to school division or attendance zone residency; penalty.
Any person who knowingly makes a false statement concerning the residency of a child, as determined by § 22.1-3, in a particular school division or school attendance zone, for the purposes of (i) avoiding the tuition charges authorized by § 22.1-5 or (ii) enrollment in a school outside the attendance zone in which the student resides, shall be guilty of a Class 4 misdemeanor and shall be liable to the school division in which the child was enrolled as a result of such false statements for tuition charges, pursuant to § 22.1-5, for the time the student was enrolled in such school division.

Shall be liable for tuition charges? There are no tuition charges for County residents! That’s a poorly worded (and weak) Code.[/quote]
You’re kind of jerk. But I’m sure you know that already. [/quote]

If pointing out loopholes and inconsistencies makes me a jerk, then yes I am.[/quote]
No, you’re a jerk because you whined about how FCPS has a policy, but not a rule and how it wasn’t really a law. But you did nothing to even see if it was in the Virginia Code. It took a 5 second Google search to see that residency verification IS in the VA Code. Then when presented with the Code that you were too lazy to look up, you couldn’t comprehend it and whined some more. 
There are two ways you can break the law: you can provide a false address because you’re actually living outside the school division and are avoiding tuition for out of county residents.(22.1-5)  OR you can provide a false address outside the attendance area simply because you’re trying to get enrollment in a particular school. BOTH are Class 4 misdemeanors. If you break the law in the first scenario, you can be liable for back-paying the tuition you should have been charged while you were attending while living outside the county. [/quote]
