I keep hearing reports of parents ignoring the zonings and sending their kids where they want. Is this not enforced? Does the school district just say it's not a big enough issue to worry about? Any cases where a student gets removed and transferred to their assigned school?

When we did this a while back we had to fill out transfer requests and get it approved

I however know some people who have put the utility bill for addresses in their name in a different school zone

That however was found out and corrected

Some districts allow out of district transfers, some do not. The parents are responsible for transportation, so no bus service if you're out of district.

Some parents rent an apartment in the district they want and claim residency that way.

Rent houses serve a purpose for this to so some I know.

I don't approve of this practice for the record.

So a student was removed and placed in the school they were actually zoned for?

I believe so. But this was three superintendents ago at least

I know some people that were going to do that after the last realignment if their kids got split up and wouldn't have blamed them if they did.

Not grandfathering students with siblings already at one high school was stupid.

In a past thread, someone on here mentioned how many cars fill the parking lots of certain apartments each morning before the school bus arrives.

I know someone who rented their old house to college students but kept the utility bill in their name and added it to rent price (it was built into price)

Not sure if they were zoned fror different school

maybe i should ask them

From what I'm told, Mumford is mostly kids that aren't in that district….

They accept transfers though. And they do their due diligence on incoming students (we had applied for transfer a few years ago, but they were full).

I believe there is also a state law with a pretty hefty fine for parents who lie on school enrollment forms about addresses. Don't know how often it is enforced, but I know some local smaller schools do investigate and enforce (looking at you, Franklin)
