[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a question about residency and school as well, though for me, not a friend. DC is not zoned for our close-by middle school, but for one much farther away. The close-by school is not only a much easier commute for us, it is also has a better reputation, so sought after an no lottery movement. I have found a reasonably-priced, but v. small apartment that is inbounds for this school and is just a few blocks from our place. I am thinking about renting it, paying the utilities, changing the address for my driver's license and thus getting DC to the closer, easier for us, and better school. We won't live there full-time, but I can walk over and get the mail, etc every day. I am surprised - and a bit ashamed - that I would go to these lengths, but am considering it. What would happen to if the school found out? What about when DC's classmates or parents come to visit our bigger, current place?  What are our liabilities? Thanks in advance to DCUMers who reply without attacking.[/quote]

I have thought about this too (I don't even have a child!)
If you bought a studio in Upper NW in a good school district, my guess is that you could probably rent it out to cover the mortgage and sell it for a tidy profit in 18 years after the kids are done with school. Maybe keep the apartment empty for the first few years while your kids get ingrained in the school program.

Your name would be on the property records, tax records, utilities, etc. If any parents ask, just tell them that you won the OOB lottery. There's no way for other parents to verify that information.

You'd easily get away with this, OP.[/quote

that's how those police officers got caught.[/quote]
