Not true.  MCPS can't prove where its students live.  They don't have the staff or the resources, or the inclination to go after residency violations.

OP, you don't even need to rent a basement.  Do you have a friend who lives in the cluster you want to attend?  [b]Simply ask if you can use their address.  [/b]

Most notices now come by email, or by robo-call.  Not much that MCPS really mails, other than report cards.  DD has a friend who does this, and the only issue is that her report card takes longer to get to her.  It gets sent to the other address, so the mom has to go pick it up.  Other than that, it's a non-issue.  [/quote]

Sure, that might be 'policy', but there is no enforcement.  [/quote]
