[quote=Anonymous][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]

No, kid is in kinder now so this would be all of elementary. You actually have to report the change of address pretty quickly, and we wouldn't try to mess with mail forwarding and trying to pretend we're in a different physical location than where we would be. I'm going to call the school and actually confirm with the registrar, but I just doubt we'll be able to find an inbounds rental we'll be comfortable in for a few years. If we luck into one, then problem solved![/quote]
