1) funds for the spring of 2014 are probably coming from PAST tax years
2) perhaps this family has lived here in years when children were too young for school
3) by driving to the county for school and by staying at the school, they are likely going to be patronizing local businesses and paying sales tax in the county.

Get real!  This isn't someone trying to cheat the county out of anything on purpose but looking out for the well being of their child.  I can't imagine MoCo will kick their child out mid school year of Senior year.   OP - I would love to hear what MCPS tells you....[/quote]

1.  Maybe, maybe not.
2. I've personally lived here for over 20 and don't have children.  I happily pay property taxes for the benefit of the children of MoCo.  If this child will no longer be living here, he shouldn't be able to attend school here unless his parents pay for him to do so.
3.  Yeah, right.  Everyone goes shopping at 7:00 am.  It costs over $13,000 to educate each child here, so about $6500 per semester.  You'd have to do a hell of a lot of shopping to rack up sales taxes in that amount, taxes which BTW go to the state, not to MoCo.

This IS someone trying to cheat the county.  Sure her kid should be able to stay in his school.  Just let her pay for it.  Is that too much to ask?  As for others telling her to set up a PO box, etc., wonderful!  Let's help her cheat the system.  Fantastic lesson for junior to learn.[/quote]
