Oh wait. 
There are rules that FCPS has in order to ensure all schools have what they need in terms of staffing and resources. There are lotteries for some schools. To attend some schools, you need to have an IEP. For others you need to have been selected by a committee after they reviewed test scores and essays. And for base schools, you have to put your head down on a pillow in that catchment area for a preponderance of the school week unless you’ve been granted some exception such as child care hardship or your parent works in the school. 
Sure, everyone pays taxes across the county. And some people even own multiple properties. But that alone does not give you the right to simply attend any school you want. Everyone must start at their base school—the school in the catchment area where both child and parent lay their heads during the school week. If you want to attend a school outside that area, there are a variety of ways you can do that. Claiming that you pay taxes or own a property elsewhere is not one of them.

If you’re struggling with this, then please run for school board and get elected to change this. [/quote]
