[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a message posted a page behind us that is very clear that residency only has to be established by the beginning of the school year.  And that is how it should be as far as I am concerned.  Many people value their children's education over where they live - and it appears that residency only has to be established at the time of enrollment,  which is when the year begins.  That means that if you are lucky enough to win whatever lottery you pick up and move before they ask for proof of residency.  Most of us would move heaven and earth for our children, but it takes a little time to move a household![/quote]

What you say, clearly does NOT apply to these people OP is talking about:

[quote=Anonymous]Hi, this is 21:39 and yes, to clarify, she was definitely not planning to move but she worked close to the school so it would have been convenient and free.[/quote]

Again, were they applying with their MD or VA addresses, in which case your point makes sense?  No, they were not.  They were faking it to get their kid into a good charter near a parent's work.

While I certainly understand going to great lengths to provide for our children, I can sincerely say I have never lied on an application or "not been totally honest" in a process to get what's best for my kid.  I pay exorbitant rent that we really cant' afford in DC because we want to be legit.  I have and will continue to report any out of state license I see at DC's DC schools.  If that driver has a good explanation, fine, that will come out when they're asked.  If they don't... never should have lied in the first place.[/quote]
