[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps you are not willfully misreading the law, but it has consistently been interpreted that the child + primary caregiver must live in DC. A primary caregiver can be a parent, custodian or another person like a grandmother, but they MUST live in DC, as must the child.

Really, it's not that hard. If the kid goes home and goes to bed in Maryland, he's not eligible to go to school in DC. Period.[/quote]

Yes, absolutely, 100%.

I would also add, how is anyone a "primary caregiver" if the child does not spend the majority of time living in their home and being cared for by them?  Wherever the child spends the majority of each week, and whoever is caring for the child in that case, is the primary caregiver.  If you're the mom/dad, you live in DC, but your child lives in MD with grandma and is dropped off every day by grandma, goes home every night to grandma... that child does NOT live in DC, nor should they enroll in DC public schools as a DC resident.  And if this arrangement comes to light, that's it, you give up your slot and pay up back tuition.[/quote]
