No. From the article: According to the school district, her daughter’s new student enrollment form was denied due to “license plate recognition software showing only Chicago addresses overnight” in July and August. In an email sent to Sánchez in August, the school district told her, “Although you are the owner on record of a house in our district boundaries, your license plate recognition shows that is not the place where you reside.” | Her response, according to the article? "No I'm not." Real trustworthy. People in the Chicago area lie all the time. There is more to the story and I do not have the information. My relative sees this all the time.

> However, to this day, despite providing all required paperwork including her driver’s license, utility bills, vehicle registration, and mortgage statement, the Alsip Hazelgreen Oak Lawn School District 126 has repeatedly denied her daughter’s enrollment.

She provided all the documentation the district requires of her. Her car being at a different local over the summer is not proof that she does not live in the home in the district.

did you notice in the part you quoted where _the school_ says "you are the owner on record of a house in our district boundaries"?

so, her taxes fund the school. therefor her child has the right to attend the school. simple as.

(also from the article: "[...] providing all required paperwork including her driver’s license, utility bills, vehicle registration, and mortgage statement")
