[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I should have mentioned I do live in the city and pay taxes in dc

I’d never want to put DD in a situation where she would have to lie. If I owned the home that was IB though, and was letting my mother live there until we moved in would parents really report me?!?  (I obviously get the frustration when you see Maryland tags in the carpool line) [/quote]

So you do recognize that wouldn't be allowed?  Whether your mother would turn you in is a completely different question than whether you are permitted to use an address where your kid doesn't live.

Who defines where your kid lives? The school residency rules in many jurisdictions define it clearly, e.g. the kid must sleep at X residence at least 50% of the nights in the year to attend an in-boundary school. Look at the school residency rules for upscale school districts in the suburbs of cities like Boston, Chicago and NYC for good models. Unfortunately, DCPS doesn't bother with clear rules residency purposes. You can be a creep who follows suspected cheaters home, photographing them, without changing this inconvenient truth.

My own kid, a DCPS student, divides his time between the DC residences of separated spouses and a grandparent. [/quote]
