I just read through the requirements carefully and didn't see a rule pertaining to where the kid "lays his/her head" during the majority of the school week.  Am I missing something?  Where is that requirement in the FCPS law or rules?

Looks to me like the rules are about documents linking a parent to an address, car registration, drives license, deed, HUD buying docs, utilities bills etc.  Sounds like a family that didn't officially rent out a condo (no lease, no payment paper trail) could swing residency at that address if they were very quiet about it.

I'm sure that pied a terre residency is real, but rare, in Fairfax.  It would be a hassle to maintain.  I don't have a problem with it if at least one parent owns the real property, pays all the relevant taxes, and ensures that the kid is well-prepared to attend school, with good attendance.  Most of us probably think the same way, leaving us disinclined to tattle.  [/quote]

Here, let me pull a quote from the link you provided:
"The enrolling parent and the student (natural or legally adoptive) must be physically residing in Fairfax County. A student is expected to attend the school assigned to your home address."

What part of "home address" do you not understand? No it doesn't say the specific words [i]where someone lays his/her head.[/i] That is how FCPS interprets their statement above regarding a "home address." Do you define "home address" as a property where you do not actually live?
