[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a gray area, especially if parents continue using the original address with DCPS. But if you own residential DC real estate that you don’t formally rent out, do what you want when registering in boundary. Just make sure that you pick up mail at the property you use for school residency regularly. In our experience, things will work out if you cover your bases on the residency docs and mail collection fronts. Asking permission from DCPS is the last thing you want to do, OP. Opening that can of worms would be naive and dumb. [/quote]

Translation:  If you commit residency fraud, don’t tell anyone and cover your tracks.

Same advice that criminals follow.[/quote]

So get those boundary cheating criminals arrested then. Report them! Lobby for them to be busted, fine, jailed.

So nobody have anything better to worry about?  These parents own these properties so they pick up mail at them if they wish. For all you know, they lived in the properties whose addresses they use for enrollment at the time of enrollment. Yawn. [/quote]

DC, after year of complaints about out of state students, finally cracked down in roughly 2015-2016.

A Maryland couple who fraudulently enrolled three children in top D.C. public schools for a decade must pay the city more than $500,000 in fines, Attorney General Karl Racine announced Thursday.
The parents, both D.C. police officers, lived at various locations in Maryland and Virginia while their children attended D.C. schools between 2003 and 2013, according to the attorney general’s office. The husband owned a home in Northeast that he rented to tenants, using that address to enroll the couple’s children in some of the city’s most coveted public schools — a violation of city law.

Seems like you can't claim an address that you rent out as your primary residence.  As quoted, a violation of city laws.

The larger problem is that DC looked into this once and tried to make a statement with fines.  The problem is there is no enforcement now.  [/quote]

Wow.  Some posters on this thread could be looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.  I wonder if the AG’s office is reading this?[/quote]

That was residency fraud. They lived in Maryland. [/quote]
