[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone paid the rates so your children could finish the school year after a move to VA or MD? Likely will have to move a few months before school year is over and don’t want to pull them out of DCPS for 2 months. Maybe this is worth its own thread. [/quote]

In my experience (as a DCPS teacher), schools are usually fine with this. We care about your child and don't want to disrupt their year unnecessarily for just a few months. [/quote]

Thank you! This is very helpful and reassuring. We always figured this was likely the case but would be left up to principal discretion.[/quote]

Hi, we ultimately moved from pg county to dc right before the deadline.  However, I submitted an app for the lottery months ago and thankful the enrollment date was pushed back. If you want to have your child in dc schools, I would consider moving if the numbers makes sense.  Free school + a bit higher rent could still be less than paying for private school in DC or just putting them in a random school in dc.  Even with our higher rent, we're saving thousands by not paying for a private daycare in pg county.[/quote]
Except for the part where this year there may not be much in-school time at all. Not worth the cost of moving for that![/quote]

Actually it was worth moving, he'll still get an education (whether online or in person) and we save $12,000. Seems like a win-win for us![/quote]

Is it? What about the cost to you for all the days he won't be in school in DCPS because of COVID? Do you have child care you can rely on ? Because I think it's clear that the schools will be open a lot less than daycares.[/quote]

I can work from home and schools will be online in the fall. My job is encouraging people to work from home if you’ve been successful at it all these months. Regardless, we won’t be paying a weekly tuition at a center which was the ultimate goal. I’m currently pregnant so our newborn will more than likely go to the same center since it was so awesome! We won’t be paying for two kids at a daycare center. [/quote]

Ok, just keep in mind that once even back in school, there are a million school days off that will cost you $$ to cover. I only add this in because it comes as a shock to many daycare parents how many days your kid will NOT be in school and how the focus is on the school, not on parent convenience. It's always a rude awakening.[/quote]
