That would be fraud and denies the rightful school district their funds.

So it is a felony?

see this girl i know is doing that because she got mad at her kid's school & is putting them somewhere else... I can't stand her, so i was just curious as if she would get into trouble for this!

If its the same as it is in my state, it is not that serious, but could result in local jail time if she does not correct the problem.

I doubt anyone is going to go to jail over falsifying an address in order to send them to another school, but ya never know.

If they are on a 6 yr felony probation would it hurt them?

how is she falsifying her address? is she using a friends address, or is she using a tree and closet ( like in sienfeld) for an address?

Possibly. It depends on the nature of the violation in TN. This could be a whoppin' nothing in your state. In mine it would likely result in a fine at best ... after forcing them to re-register the child or get an interdistrict transfer through proper procedures.

Not sure about TN, but in other states, families who got caught were forced to pay the 'tuition' for the schooling that they misappropriated. Generally 5-7K per year.

I doubt that it's against the law, however there is an easier way to do it. All you do is contact the school and ask them what their procedure is for an out of district student to attend school there. Usually (if there is enough space in the class) thet ask that you write a letter stating why the student should attend (or be able to continue going to) school there. If there isn't enough room in the class, they get put on a waiting list.
