You can legally come here as a student, you know. Kids do it all the time.[/quote]

Public schools do not provide student visas. DUH.

Schools must enroll all children whose parent or guardians wish to enroll them if they live in the zoned boundary. They don't need to be US citizens. It is federal law.

[quote]All children in the United States are entitled to a basic public elementary and secondary education regardless of their actual or perceived race, color, national origin, citizenship, immigration status, or the status of their parents/guardians. School districts that either prohibit or discourage, or maintain policies that have the effect of prohibiting or discouraging, children from enrolling in schools because they or their parents/guardians are not U.S. citizens or are undocumented may be in violation of Federal law.[/quote][/quote]

FCPS Special Student Registration https://www.fcps.edu/registration/general-registration-requirements/special
International student exchange programs are rather formal and are for 1 year only.  So if the parent sends the child to the USA on a visa, overstays,  and the people in the USA host the child?  Tuition is due and what's the rational for the care and custody?

Visa overstay as an unaccompanied minor perhaps puts the child in the same category as southern border crossers? ORR - tuition not paid

Do school districts audit this stuff?  Are the visa overstays or on visas not paying tuition?
