They’ll find out when a family with kids moves into your old place and uses that address to register their kid at school…and then there might be trouble…

You can easily opt out of getting mailed report cards and just download the PDFs from Parent Vue.
We got other things mailed that you can’t opt out of. The teachers assignment in ES. IEP docs.

And MCPS is full of people living at an ‘alternate’ address than where they actually live. Schools don’t have the time/staff/money to investigate residency fraud, so it goes unchecked.
Once you are in a cluster, you will never again be required to provide proof of residence. It’s a total non-issue.
Not true. I’ve been in the same cluster since 1998. I’ve been asked for proof of residence at least twice for each child and thrice for my eldest.
My child is a Senior and in 12 years never once have I been asked to provide proof of residence

What cluster? I have never needed to provide proof after the initial registration back in kindergarten. I have a 3 kids, HS, MS and ES.
DCC. Blair is our home school. One child is at Northwood via MCPS’s own processes.
I wonder why the differences. I think your cluster doesn't mind rocking the boat but many do. If they all checked there would be many kids who would be re-assigned.
There is no difference. PP is wrong.
How would they know you moved out of boundary rather than in boundaries?

I bet it has to do with the DCC application— attending DCC school that is not home school.

Which cluster is that? Our cluster does not check after initial enrollment.
Blair is our home school. I’ve had kids at TPES, PBES, TPMS, Blair, and Northwood.
Strange. Blair is also our home school and I’ve had kids in PBES, TPES and TPMS and only provided evidence of address when my kids were first registered for school.

I do not think the school will figure it out but your neighbors will know and the parents at the bus stop and play date parents will all know...not sure if that would bother you or not. I would not feel good about it. Trying to think of what I would say to my kids about it.
