Well, maybe it's 2 birds with 1 stone. Buy a condo, rent or sublet it out, but use the address.

A cheap rental is still what $1500, that's $18k a year. I find it hard to believe a lot of people are actually doing that.

Surprising more people don't do this:

1. claim an address of an apartment building to get preference/residency
2. if it works and you "win" the lottery, then sign a lease, turn on the utilities, whatever
3. verify residence with that form
4. don't bother moving, turn off the utilities...
5. never get caught

You don't even need to do this. All that's needed is a pay stub. Change your address at work, next pay stub will show new address. Schools should be checking YTD DC tax withholdings, but I don't they do and they can't do anything for a person in NE DC claiming NW address. Schools should be pulling DC wages reported by DOES.

What if a parent works in MD or VA? I have a DC plates, live in DC, but commute to VA for work after drop off.

Also, I don't think just a paystub is enough. When I re-enrolled I had to show that my car was registered in DC, my drivers license had to be DC, and my address on my paystub had to match my DC drivers license (I think I used a utility bill instead actually, but it had to match my DL and car registration). It definitely wasn't just one form of proof.

You're sort of a dimwit. I was driving behind the vehicle, going where I needed to go anyway. We were going 12 miles per hour. I could see, with my two eyes, that

1. The car -- let me repeat, a late-model, tan Chevy Suburban -- had Maryland license plates.
2. The car had just pulled away from Murch at 3:30, when school gets out.
3. The car had a Murch mustangs blue and yellow bumper sticker.
4. The car had elementary aged children in the car.

I didn't go to Maryland, and I didn't follow the car. to anyplace I wasn't headed already It happened to be in front of me on 36th St. NW. It happened to force me to stop as it pulled away from the curb on 36th St NW. This is how I happened to see 1 - 4.




So you know they live in MD or they haven't registered their car in DC? Which one?

I dunno. I followed a tan Chevy Suburban with Maryland tags and a Murch bumper sticker all the way down 36th St. NW today, after school. After pickup from Murch, that is.

Some people clearly feel they have nothing to worry about. Like, the sort of people who will slap a Murch bumpersticker 4 inches away from their Maryland license plate and drive away from a grossly over-enrolled school.

I wouldn't be so proud of stalking someone into Maryland, were I you. I mean it is funny that you did that,

Not always. Based on what people are willing to say in public (surely some won't even admit it), I'd venture that there are dozens of upper income families of all races renting cheapest efficiency apartments in the Deal zone--and not living there--so as to have the address for those 3 middle school years. That's also a form of residency fraud, and a whole lot of wealthy people engage in it.

right.... because it isn't possible that this is the nanny, the babysitter, or one half of a divorced couple. MYOB and stop being so greedy.

I have heard of families doing this. I've been in DC a while so I'm finding it funny that parents are cheating for Deal, but times change. Honestly, if you are going to go to that trouble why don't go to private or just move?

Why should it? It has more important things to worry about.

Try posting this the day after the lottery when families are shut out because some thief from Maryland has stolen their seat.

Sure, OK. I absolutely will. Get over it.
