[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a question about residency and school as well, though for me, not a friend. DC is not zoned for our close-by middle school, but for one much farther away. The close-by school is not only a much easier commute for us, it is also has a better reputation, so sought after an no lottery movement. I have found a reasonably-priced, but v. small apartment that is inbounds for this school and is just a few blocks from our place. I am thinking about renting it, paying the utilities, changing the address for my driver's license and thus getting DC to the closer, easier for us, and better school. We won't live there full-time, but I can walk over and get the mail, etc every day. I am surprised - and a bit ashamed - that I would go to these lengths, but am considering it. What would happen to if the school found out? What about when DC's classmates or parents come to visit our bigger, current place?  What are our liabilities? Thanks in advance to DCUMers who reply without attacking.[/quote]

My two cents

What would happen to if the school found out? And they actively investigated you? Depending on how willing you are to go you could easily create a domestic drama story -- i.e. separated parents or something which would probably end the investigation.

I'm not going to judge or attack you.  Your biggest risk is other busybodies who will go in for the kill once they find out about your situation and make it a personal mission to take you down.   DCPS is much more likely to go after someone who actually doesn't live in the district, as they should.  But again, the wolves of DC and, guessing you are talking about Deal may dress nicely but they are rabidly vicious.[/quote]
