Yes.  You can absolutely do this.  Many families do.

You'll get some posters on here who [b]feign outrage[/b], but in many cultures, you do what you need to do to get ahead.  So, many families in MCPS use relatives' addresses, or friends' addresses to attend schools that are out of their boundary.  It's NBD, and nobody every gets caught.

My coworker even lives in Frederick County, and her daughter attends MCPS because they are using an aunt's address.  It's very prevalent, though I'm not an MCPS fan, so not sure what the appeal is![/quote]

Not [i]feigning [/i]outrage here.[/quote]

??  Not sure what you're saying.[/quote]

Granny can’t always be at your house because might be caring for multiple school age grandchildren from different nuclear families. My friend cared for three of her children’s kids after school for roughly four years. They would have been enrolled in 4-5 different down county ES otherwise. All got COSAs.

PP is actually wrong. I have reported someone myself when my kids were younger. So, definitely not nobody. [/quote]

And, what came of it?

Nothing.

My neighbor also reported someone.  The person was definitely NOT living in our neighborhood.  Kids lived at a completely different address.  Did not have a COSA, but the parents used a grandparents' address.  They said it was 'shared housing', even though the kids slept at their actual home every single night.  Mom drove them to and from the bus stop daily.  [/quote]

That's a totally different situation. [b]Using grandparents address is accepted practice because many families rely on grandparents for after care. Totally legal. [/b]

As for what came of my reporting, how do you know nothing came out? You really shouldn't BS things you don't know about. Dont' get worked up. [/quote]
LOL, not actually legal. I mean, can I use my nanny's address? You don't know the rules, you're just an unethical human being who is being a selfish jerk.[/quote]

It's not unethical to fill out a COSA and tell the truth that you parents provide care in the afternoon. [/quote]

First Granny shouldn't be a child care provider.  How cheap can you be?
Second, Granny can be at your house to pick child up from bus.

Not a reasonable COSA at all. [/quote][/quote]
