[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is boundary fraud, not residency fraud. [/quote]

It is not clear that there is such a crime as 'boundary fraud.' In order for fraud to exist, someone has to be defrauded, they have to lose something of value. DCPS loses nothing of value when you enroll in a school other than the one you're entitled to. Your child is entitled to a DCPS education, and they are required to provide it. In order for them to argue that fraud has occurred they would have to argue that the value of a DCPS education in different schools is different. I don't think that's a path they want to go down in court. [/quote]

If DCPS finds out you are doing this, they won't prosecute you, but they will make your child enroll in his/her IB school. [/quote]

No they won't.  Just collect a good stack of residency docs tied to the condo, particularly income tax filings and driver's license.  Keep the arrangement under wraps.  Don't tell people, including friends and family, how you got access to the school (let them assume that you lotteried in or whatever).  Also make sure that your child spends time and the condo, staying over with grandma regularly.  If you get investigated (very unlikely), you turn in your paperwork to OSSE and they clear you.  Worst case, you switch houses with grandma until things blow over, though I can't see it coming to that.  Don't sweat it, PP.  You pay plenty in taxes.[/quote]
