[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had no problem entering the lottery with an out of state address. I did the applications then called each school to explain we were moving in to DC. In fact we got a spot at a coveted charter in the lottery but didn't actually move to DC until August. When we were notified I simply called the school and told them our situation- they were fine with it. When we came house hunting in June we went by the school and introduced myself. They were completely pleasant and said we will see you when school starts. When we had the address (about a week before school started) I completely forgot to tell the school. First day of school my child had name tag, on class roll, etc. I went and filled out my paperwork with our new address and we were done. Easy. [/quote]

The OP doesn't want to move to DC, the only reason they are asking is because they only would if they got in the lottery, as prior post stated the intent is different. [/quote]

You know what, problem solved: Take the time to fill out the application, state your truthful current address and say you have a rental address in DC and that you would be willing to move to if you got a slot. As you've been honest with your application, as you were with us, you have no need to fear karma if you get a slot.

Namaste :)[/quote]
