[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems to me that they are tightening up the residency verification timeline?  Notifications go out March 31, and proof of residency is required May 1.  So possible to apply from out of state, but then you have a short turnaround to get residency.[/quote]

As already stated, this is only true for those who are participating in the common lottery.  I know two families who moved from out of state to go to our charter school and they were only required to prove residency when school started (by that time they had moved).

That may still be true for non-charter applications to prek or PS3 but I do not know.  If you move to an area with a sought after elementary school they are required to take you for K in the fall.

Lying is a really bad idea because they might be entitled to kick you out.  I know two families who paid out of state tuition for their kids to go to elementary school in Md.  The third family lied and had to move in order to avoid being expelled - once they moved in to the appropriate part of Md., the school had no choice but to take them back.[/quote]
