[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][Who cares if a parent "lives at property" if they're paying both DC income and property tax?   What's the issue there?  What does live mean anyway - only the FBI can know where all family members sleep every night.  As long as kids enrolled in DCPS or DC Charter have parents who own or rent in a school district, and pay all the relevant taxes and get school mail at an IB address for IB enrollment, no quibble whatsoever.  It's the true MD scofflaws who pay zip that I can't stand.  School systems can't legally demand tax transcripts, only the IRS can, but they can, and should, demand more documentation than DC does.  Tell your ward reps if you want higher documentation standards for IB enrollment, we've done that.

You are absolutely incorrect.  If you have a rental prop in DC but reside in PG County, you have to, by law attend school in PG County.  The residency is where you live, not where you own property.  There is no level of wrong or right lawbreakers.  If you break the law, you break the law.  If you live in PG County and you pay PG income taxes, you should go to school in PG.[/quote]

Exactly, why I opined that one should be paying both DC property and income tax to enroll IB, meaning that one is a DC resident. I know a couple DC residents who rent out a home they pay taxes on as an IB address and reside in another home  which they also own  - no problem with that approach.   Such DC residents pay boatloads of taxes for a desirable IB school and should be left alone.  MD residents who don't pay DC income tax are the cheaters/jerks.
