Do you have to go to school if you live in yonkers? -

I m moving to yonkers and would like to know if i can go to school outside of yonkers. Me and my sister are in highschool but in manhattan, ny. my moms lawyer told us the NYC department of schools can sue us with even 10,000 dollars for doing that? Is that true?????

You have to attend the schools of the school district you reside in. If you live in Yonkers, you have to go to Yonkers public schools. Yonkers is not part of the New York City school system, so you will have to change schools. If you lie or try to hide the fact that you moved, you could potentially have to pay back tuition. It is possible for a non-resident to attend school in Manhattan, but you have to pay for it, and the whole point of public school is that it s free.
