[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t need to pay tuition.  MCPS does not require proof of anything - they are not allowed to because we have a large population of kids who may lack appropriate documentation.

You can use a friend’s address who lives in bounds. Much cheaper than trying to figure out a way to pay tuition!  Or just offer to pay someone to use their address.

We have quite a few kids at our ES and MS who do not live in boundary.  They use family members’ or friends’ addresses.

Also, once you get into a MS, you can automatically go to the HS that MS feed into.  [/quote]

Not true. We both teach for MCPS. To register my child, MCPS required proof of address including utility bills. When we moved from one address to another less than a half mile away, MCPS required we submit new proofs of address.  Oddly, we simply filled out a form from the internet to change our address as MCPS employees.[/quote]

+1  I just registered my kid for kindergarten in MCPS.  We had to show paystubs with our address, recent utility bills (we had to go back a second time, because they rejected one of our utility bills because it wasn't sufficiently recent).  We also showed our property tax statement.  It wasn't like you just show up with your kid in September and they take them.[/quote]

Maybe it differs based on cluster.

We are in a MCPS Focus school.  I'm sure many posters on here would not be happy with our school, but we're surrounded by some even higher poverty schools, so we have a good number of kids who attend our school, but do not live in boundary.

FWIW, it is well known at our school that there is a huge rush in September.  Every year, a bunch of kids shows up the week before school starts and the school HAS TO let them in.  There's not really much effort put into verifying residency.  [/quote]

Yep. [/quote]
