What do you mean?[/quote]

There was a post on DCUM a few years back from a MD family who did something like this.

IIRC, there was a HRCS along the commute of one of the parents.  The family submitted an application, thinking that there was little chance they would get a spot.  At some point, the HRCS ran out of applications from DC residents and called the family to offer them a spot. I imagine the call came shortly before count day.  The family raced to the school that very day and submitted their registration paperwork before any DC residents got wind of the availability of spots and submitted an application.  The child was then allowed to stay at the school for years, having never been a DC resident.[/quote]

I don't see the problem with this.  The parents and the school did everything legally in this scenario. If you are a DC resident and you want a spot for your child at a particular school, then apply.  Seems silly to complain about a spot going to someone else if you don't apply.[/quote]

Agree completely, PP.  I posted the summary simply to illustrate that precedent exists for non-residents keeping spots at HRCSs.[/quote]
