I understand why many people "feel" this "should" be wrong, but again, your feelings are irrelevant.

Before tossing out words like "fraud" you need to identify the rules.  Show me where DCPS or OSSE or whoever you like require parents to designate a certain residence as their IB location and what criteria should be used in making that determination.  If you can't, then what exactly is the basis for your opinion?

[b]In theory, a DCPS school should be able to serve every RESIDENCE in that area, whether a kid actually lives there or not.  OP is not renting a PO Box and claiming it as her home.  If she chooses to maintain two houses, either of which she could live in, then what exactly is the policy basis for forcing her to choose one as her "official" residence.[/b]

The point of these requirements is more to prevent people from listing a friend or relative's address when they have no real claim to live there.  If someone chooses to pay for a residence, then they get the benefit of the bargain.  This is not rocket science.

Call it a loophole if you will, but if DCPS really thought this was an issue they could easily address it.  [/quote]

People cheat starting in preschool, when slots are lottery-based. In many schools, this "loophole" (scam) would take a slot away from a child who actually lives in bounds. [/quote]
