Someone who owns property in DC IS ALREADY PAYING for DCPS schools.  So basically they are paying TWICE if they then also have to pay out-of-state tuition on top of that.

I'm not advocating for living outside of DC and going to school in DC (and in fact if I was going to live outside of DC, I'd just as soon go to one of the better school districts in the burbs), I'm just pointing out that there is a problem with the policy.

Paying property taxes in DC, or any other kind of tax for that matter, does not give you the right to attend DC schools! Why is this so hard for you to understand? RESIDENTS are entitled to attend, no matter how much money they make, no matter if they own property or pay income tax or sales tax. If you own property in DC but have elected to make your RESIDENCE in another state, you obviously feel that the benefits of RESIDING in that state outweigh the benefits of RESIDING in DC.

It is so hard to believe that money does not buy everything! I think this is why some people get so mad about the lotteries.

And I completely agree with you; if I had money for multiple properties, I would either buy in a great suburban school district, or pay tuition at a real private school.[/quote]
