[quote=Anonymous][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]

What did the letter say? Last I heard FCPS doesn't even require proof but you have to sign an attestation about where you live. Did you have to provide a deed or lease or anything? Otherwise, what's stopping people from just forwarding their mail to their new address or paying a friend a couple bucks to use their address? [/quote]

Paraphrasing, essentially said they were able to verify our home address and would not require additional details or documentation from us.  Haven’t provided anything since my last kid enrolled a few years ago, so not sure how they “verifed” again.[/quote]
