So just a cautionary note. Of course you can register your child at the grandparents’ address and drive them to school. But if you’re caught, the child will be expelled to their home district and the district could go after you for tuition fees. Now, they rarely waste their resources on the legal side, in my limited experience. (13 years teaching) But being forced to remove the child, even midyear, from a school where they have become settled and established could be traumatic. My district borders a midsize city with overcrowded and underfunded schools. We have many, many students that lie their way into our district. Many are ‘caught’ and removed.

Also, based on the school closing comment, the kids are likely younger. Elementary aged kids are going to be terrible at keeping up this kind of charade (and for how many years is this the plan?). I agree it will likely lead to trauma and lost/strained friendships if they get kicked out. Sharing this experience on your end is so helpful.
