School district eligibility question.

[roger482ky]

After reading the Ryle thread earlier this week, i have a question for the experts on here. I live on 4.75 acres. 1.75 acres and my house is in Pendleton county. Walk out my back door and take 5 steps you are in Kenton county and my remaning 3 acres. I am registered in both counties but pay my taxes in Pendleton. If i had a kid playing sports, could they only play in Pendleton County schools, or could i send them to a Kenton County school?

My guess is that since your actual residence is in Pendleton County, that is the district that your child is expected to attend. Kenton County schools might be an option if you want to pay tuition for your out-of-district child.

Based on mailing address. Which county is your mailing address?

[eccheer]

Around here mailing address don't mean much. We have entire areas in Elliott that have Carter County addresses.

 

My assumption would be that you would be expected to attend the county in which your residence (where the house is located) resides. If you want to attend Kenton County, just add onto your house and put your child's room in Kenton County!

 

I personally can't believe that Kenton County allows your property tax (for the portion of land that is in Kenton) to be given to Pendleton County.

[roger482ky]

My mailing address is a certain road (my last name) in Pendleton County. The entire road is in Pendleton County. The zip code is 41033, which covers parts of Pendleton, Kenton and i think a small section of Grant County.

Do you have access to buses from both counties?

 

I would think that if you would prefer to attend one county over the other then you could make a rational argument either way.

[NDFan4Ever]

Which county do you pay school taxes? I believe that is the county you must attend.

[eccheer]

OK . . . lets get a little more specific. How old is your daughter? Has she already started school in a specific county?

Pendleton bus turns around in front of my house. The Kenton bus turns 1/4 mile from my house. I dont have a kid in school, I was just wondering if I did if they could attend either school. I do have a niece next door that is a 3 sport 7th grader,but their property is entirely in Pendleton County so its no question where she should go.

I dont have a daughter, but have dated a gal that has a decent ball player.

If you pay property taxes in Pendleton County, then you reside there. Do either of these schools have a reciprocal agreement, which allow students to attend one of the schools but live out of the District.

Sorry . . . just "assumed" since this was in the Girls Basketball forum!! :thumb:

 

Personally then . . . I would think that if you preferred one county system over the other, then start your child in that system from the beginning and no one would say anything.

 

The majority of your property is in Kenton County so you could make a rational argument to attend there but your residence is in Pendleton County so you could also make a rational argument to attend there.

[roger482ky]

I do pay my taxes and the school tax in Pendleton County. I do pay a Kenton county fire district tax, but it is on my Pendleton tax bill. I didnt mean for readers to assume I have a daughter and was wondering my options. I was just wondering after reading the Ryle thread ealier in the week if a landowner like myself had options on school choice.
