Good Schools, Bad Real Estate

Interesting how some school districts/neighbors are reporting people who are trying to skirt the school district rules.

“Two years ago, Daniel and Dee Shin used an inheritance from Mr. Shin’s father to pay $410,000 for the “cheapest house they could afford” in Bellevue for the sole purpose of securing a spot in the school district for their then 11-year-old daughter, Kayla. The 900-square-foot circa-1955 rambler is “beat up and not insulated very well,” says Mr. Shin, adding that he assumed that paying property taxes on the house would be enough to satisfy the school district’s residency requirements even if the family actually resided in a 2,326-square-foot, four-bedroom home in the nearby town of Renton. Their new neighbors in Bellevue, evidently, didn’t see it that way. They reported the Shins to the school district, and the district gave them an ultimatum: move into the Bellevue district by the time Kayla registers for high school in February, or start the following school year in another district.”

Dude, do some research on Mission San Jose, in the Fremont, CA there…

Morale of the story, don’t pick a fight with folks that bought into a neighborhood strictly because of the school district….Especially, don’t try to redraw school district lines because you want to “rebalance” the demographics.
