Education

Some districts now are open schools of choice, but if you looked at the chart I linked, it's not required for any school to take students from another district - with some exceptions if the student is coming from a "failing" school, which did not apply to our case.

Here's an article from this just this week:

"Newly tightened residency requirements for Grosse Pointe schools have rattled some people who say parents now have to jump through hoops simply to enroll their children.

But others favor the requirements and say the district should go a step further by requiring all parents and guardians to sign and get notarized an affidavit proving they live in the district.

...

In August, the school board approved a prorated tuition penalty of up to $13,038 per school year on parents or guardians of students found to be enrolled in the district illegally. "
