[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought there were supposed to be cracking down on transferring for sports.

You have to sit a year if you pupil place to a new school. If your family moves and your school changes you can play. [/quote]

If you use an old address from when your kid was in kindergarten, that you never changed when you moved to a bigger house in a lower ranked pyramid, then your kids can just continue through to graduation, sports and all.

FCPS does not check residency after the first time you enroll your kid in the school system, whether it is kindergarten or high school.  You can move to any school in FCPS or one of the surrounding counties, and as long as you don't change your address with the school system, FCPS doesn't care.

Dr. Reid and the school board are very open that they know about and don't care about this loophole.[/quote]

I received a letter verifying residency a couple of months back.  First time we had ever gotten it.  We aren’t new to the school or county, so not sure why the random check.  ES in the Western part of the county.[/quote]
So even when they do a random residency check they do it backwards. They need to do the residency checks for the high schools. Many people start out in elementary in a pyramid they want, but then never update the record when they move to a different house with a less favorable middle or high school.[/quote]
