[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Anyone else have recent experience, first or second hand, with staying at a school after moving out of bounds?

And to respond to PP, not interested in an ethical debate on DCUM, but if DCPS implemented a policy within the past few years that allows this, then it is following the rules and I don't think it's particularly unethical to take advantage of a policy when you've exhausted all of the other options (trying inbound schools, playing the lottery). If we could afford to move, we would. If we could will ourselves into a winning lottery number, we would. But we can't and it is what it is. We all want what's best for our kids, etc. etc.[/quote]

If your kid is the upper grades, I wouldn't sweat it in continuing to attend the old school wherever you live.  Have your mail forwarded from the old address -submit the postal form every six months for a year or two. DCPS doesn't like to have kids bouncing between schools. If your kid is below 3rd grade, I'd play by the rules.[/quote]
