[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer OPs question, yes you may enter the lottery while residing outside the district. Upon acceptance and enrollment you just provide proof of residency. I personally know of three families who did at YY. Actually, the Washington Post did a story on one of the parents who moved his family from Chicago once his son was offered a spot off the wait list.  I know of another family that sold their home in Upper Marlboro and rented a house in DC until they found something to purchase two years later. I would think there are other stories out there like that. [/quote]

The question is: what address did the Chicago family use to apply?  Did they tell the truth on the app, or use a DC addy and move quickly when they got in?  And what year was this?

Bottom line: beware lying on your form.  If your kid doesn't go home to and sleep at your application address most nights of the week/month/year, you risk getting booted.  And DEFINITELY by enrollment time that's true.  Simple as that.  And believe it - almost all cheaters who get caught and booted thought they'd never get caught.  [/quote]

According to the family, they used the Chicago address, as they were unfamiliar with DC at the time. [/quote]
