[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some Brent families started our in a small IB house. Later on, as the kids got bigger, they bought a larger house outside the boundary, not necessarily far outside. But they continued to send their children to Brent without express permission of admins or DCPS. They kept house #1 to rent it out, use it as an office, a granny pad or whatever. I don't think anybody much save few busybodies cares about this, at least in the upper grades.  But parents do tend to get upset with "boundary fraud cheaters" grab scarce PreS3 and PreK4 spots from those who actually live IB.  Very different problem from MD residency cheaters in a school, but an interesting one that DCPS seems happy to turn a blind eye toward.

This has been discussed to death, but that is legal and allowable under DC policy. You can live in bounds and enroll as an IB student, then move OOB and keep your spot at your current school through the school's terminal grade. You do not get feeder rights, though I've heard that's not enforced because they don't track these kids well enough to know. Note that wouldn't apply to pre-K most of the time, because you have to enroll as IB initially (though you could move after count day and still fall under the policy, though that sounds logistically burdensome).
