[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if you own two properties? You live in DC during the week and go to a cottage in VA on weekends or holidays? Many folks do this to avoid the long commutes during the week.[/quote]

Do the children sleep in DC during the school week? Do they actually live at that house most of the time? If so, then they are DC residents who also own property in VA.

My daughter's father lives in Maryland. She spends every other weekend with him. He picks her up and drops her off in a car with Maryland plates on Fridays and Mondays. During the week, she lives with me across the street from her school, but if you just saw him picking up on Friday and dropping off on Monday, you would think that she lives in MD.[/quote]

According to DC's regulations, even if your daughter spent every single night with her father in Maryland on a regular basis, if you (mom) live in DC and register her for school, she is legally entitled to attend a public DCPS or charter school.[/quote]

And yet if we were investigated, they would look at where the child actually lives. They would come to my house and if it was actually a studio apartment with no kid stuff in it, even if I was the one who registered her for school, we might get kicked out for fraud because she doesn't actually live there.

That isn't how the regulation is written. Now if you never slept there....[/quote]
