I know the family who uses a friend's address has their mail sent there.  Her report card gets mailed to that person's house.

I'm not sure what your point is?  You're right, they don't have a COSA (true or not) - they are just attending an OOB school by pretending to live elsewhere.  I just meant that they did not actually get a COSA.  If they did, their mail/report cards would be getting mailed to their actual home address.  Instead, the report cards get send to the address where they are not living/have never lived.

I'm not lying, if that's what you're implying.  My DD has been to two of these girls' houses, and [b]the parents are pretty up front that they do NOT live in bounds[/b].  [/quote]

That doesn't mean they don't have a COSA.

Also, here is what MCPS requires to provide residency:

[i]-[u]Homeowners[/u]: If homeowner, a copy of your current property tax bill. A copy can be obtained for a fee from the Montgomery County Department of Finance at 240-777-8950 (or a free copy can be downloaded from the Montgomery County Department of Finance web site)

-[u]Renters[/u]: If renter, a copy of your current (less than 1 year old) lease. If lease is more than 1 year old, a copy of your lease and a current utility bill

-[u]Shared Housing Residents[/u]: If living in shared housing, a notarized MCPS Form 335-74: Shared Housing Disclosure (available at all schools) and either a copy of the current property tax bill of the homeowner or a copy of the lease of renter with whom student and parent are living and other supporting documents. Supporting documents for shared housing must be in the name of parent/guardian at the address shown on MCPS Form 335-74: Shared Housing Disclosure: Examples of acceptable supporting documents are W-2, current pay stub, income tax return, two consecutive bank statements, medical bills, car registration, car insurance policy/bill, current utility bill, current phone bill, voter registration card, INS application, government or official correspondence at residential address. Three documents are needed.

So, how did they fake their residency? Just getting your mail mailed to somebody else's address is not enough to prove residency.

[b]Or is MCPS not enforcing its residency requirements?[/b]

This would be my guess.

I am good friends with a mom who attends my DS' school and she lives OOB.  She did NOT apply for a COSA, but has never had to provide all that documentation.  They falsely use a relative's address and have never had any issues.

The only down side for them is that they don't get the weekly robo-calls on Sundays from our ES principal because they don't have the correct phone number.  [/quote]
