[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many DC families shuttle kids between relatives' places. That's always been true. DCPS isn't in the mode of cracking down on multigenerational families over residency regardless of SES if DC taxes are paid, particularly if the kids are in K or higher.

Renting an apt just to get a kid into a school is different than the kids staying with grandma and grandad part of the time. OP, I wouldn't do it if i were you. [/quote]

Is it really different?  Kids should go to their neighborhood school - occasionally sleeping at grandmas should not qualify them for her neighborhood school.[/quote]

DCPS cares about keeping DC residents in school period. This is what is behind the 'once you're in, you can stay' policies. And academically outcomes are better if the students don't bounce from school to school.

The rules weren't designed for an upper middle-class family to game the system (although that's possible) but to support kids from families with less stable economic and housing situations.[/quote]
