School District Kicks Siblings Out For Currently Living Somewhere Else

I don't see any winners in all of this, especially the children. From the article:

Can you visit a friend or relative in another state for an extended period while your kids keep up with their classes and school work online?
quote:
On Thursday, Emmette received an email from Camille Johnson, Auburn’s assistant superintendent for student services, saying she has determined his two sons “are not entitled to the public schools of the district.”
In the email, the administrator says Emmette told the district in late August the family had planned to return to Auburn from their vacation in Missouri over Labor Day weekend, but due to a wedding at the end of September decided to remain in Missouri.
The administrator says in the email the district allowed the two boys, a second-grader and fourth-grader, to continue remote learning.
However, Emmette and his kids still haven’t returned, and mail sent to him was returned to the district, the email says. It also states that Emmette told the district he didn’t have a set date to return, and told them he was renting out his home when possible on AirBnB.
"Renting out your home is contrary to an intent to return to Auburn in the near future‚'’ Johnson says in the email Emmette shared with Syracuse.com | The Post-Standard.
quote:
Emmette, who works as a podcast host on youtube and restores furniture, said he didn’t have a date in mind to return, but would have come back at least by January. He said if the elementary schools were five days a week in person, he would return, but he doesn’t want his kids to go on a hybrid schedule.
quote:
Emmette said he was outraged and shocked when he received the email. He said the weather is nice at his aunt’s home in Missouri and it’s somewhat isolated, so he and his kids feel safe from the coronavirus pandemic.
“Are you kidding me?'' he said. “I never thought there was any problem. I pay my taxes and my mortgage, and my home is not for sale. I didn’t move. And my kids do all their work on Zoom as I have chosen for them to be fully remote.”
quote:
Auburn is on a hybrid schedule where students learn in school some days and remotely the other days. Parents in New York state, however, are allowed to choose if they want their children to learn all remotely.

He says he didn’t move, but he’s renting his home out. Just admit you moved dude

Rules are rules. It I don't feel too strongly on this one though, what is being hurt by this kid logging on from Missouri? A big meh, they can figure it out.

If he’s paying resident taxes for that school district, his kids should get educated there.

Sooner or later a viable remote learning model will emerge (especially for older kids), where the absolutely best teacher in the nation will be able to host a meeting for unlimited number of kids. Homework, exams and things like experiments could be farmed out locally similar to large-format classes in university.

New york...checks out
This is the kind of common sense that is being promoted across the nation

If the kids are doing their work and attending zoom classes, why does it matter if they are in Auburn or New York when they do the work?
Posted on 10/18/20 at 9:20 am to McVick
Tons of students I know are doing class in other countries. Admins are so dumb sometimes
Posted on 10/18/20 at 9:23 am to McVick
They are using tax resources and not paying taxes in the district. School districts have to police this especially if next to a less than desirable district. Otherwise you’d have tons of people trying to live outside the district and attend the better schools.

If they were fully online it wouldn’t be a big deal.
Posted on 10/18/20 at 9:43 am to McVick
I wouldn’t ever tell my school district we weren’t in town. Not their business.
Posted on 10/18/20 at 11:03 am to McVick
As long as he still owns a house in the district and its fully online, then I don't see the issue.
The only issue I can see you running into in that scenario is if the kids start slacking and because they're in another state there's no way to do a home visit to verify the well-being of the kids.

I’m sorry but they don’t live there anymore. You don’t rent your house out when you’ll be back soon.

He's worried about the pandemic but letting stranger after stranger come in and covid up his house?
Sounds more like he's freeloading off his aunt and enjoying nicer weather while getting extra income from his house.

A lot of places won't accept kids if they are out of district. Not sure why this is even a story.

Dude is an idiot.
Easy solution, "yeah, I'm back."
The end.

It seems like when state allowed this they should have addressed this type of situation in districts pushing hybrid.
But...
quote:
Robert Lowry, New York State Council of School Superintendents, said residency questions can be “murky," especially with the pandemic and remote learning thrown in.
Doubtful Airbnb renter is using house to place students in district, but Renting out can be bringing in additional students without any additional revenue from the house. If other family using rental agreement or utilities to prove they they are within boundaries for school I can see this being an issue with regular attendance and even hybrid. Still owning house doesn’t mean dad hasn’t established residence elsewhere. Choosing 100% remote learning seems a little less of an issue though than going to school with hybrid schedule, but it’s obvious this is not first time this has come up with dad telling them about staying for a wedding for a month after a vacation. With district hybrid but having to allow state’s rule about 100% remote learning I wonder if they are still allowed to have some time to see kids after hours for extra help when needed and to turn in assignments that rest of kids do when in class which aren’t happening.
