If you are the custodial parent then you need to have the children in the same school in case they get sick also you can keep track of teachers and request a different teacher if your first child had a bad experience with this teacher
Who does she live with? That is one factor
who is the gardian house if its you keep her there he would need to be the main parent

It all depends who has custody and where you live. If you have custody - enroll child where you live. Her father can have visitation visits.
If hes planning to pick her up from your house drop her off in school then pick her back from school then drop her back home to you then sure I see no problem
If hes not the primary custodian, he doesn’t have a choice. Hes being selfish not looking at what’s best for his child. ( being with sibling, and where you can be there for both.)
Your the Mom and the kids sty together.you need to mk sure1 don’t dissapear.Your not together So keep both kids at arms length.Mom🌹
Argue you cant go to two concerts in one night. By putting your child in his school district you are separating them and putting yourself in a position where you might have to chose one or the other. Schools tend to have games and concerts on the same night. Plus this way the teachers already know you… it’s better to go to the same school.

I would keep her where she’s at. It doesn’t make any sense for you to have to be traveling that much and change up your entire routine with both of your kids. Would it even be possible to get both kids to school on time or pick them up on time?
Is she old enough to have an opinion about it?
Worry less about getting him to understand and focus more on standing your ground. I have a similar situation and I caved and let my youngest go to his school district as a peace offering and it has been hell for five years. You will end up using twice the mental effort to stay ontop of the two different schools and it will probably make you resentful. Good luck momma.
He will never understand your point because they have a one track mine the way they want or we dont want them to be a parent. I understand your point in makes sense I am a single parent and her dad makes it seen like In keepin him from doing his part because I want let her run up and down the street with him when he feels like it. I keep my daughter on a schedule because its important and she also attends school
He’s the one that moved he should of thought about that before he moved. Different districts could mean different days off for conferences or holidays and that’s difficult. It can also mean same times for school activities or functions and you would be forced to chose. If she is primarily with you then it’s your choice.
it doesnt make any sense to put them in seperate schools its twice as much work for you and you’ll likely miss out on things like school plays and sports games
Well if you put her in the district where her father lives, send your oldest as well. On another note, school may not let your child go to the fathers district if he isn’t the primary caretaker.

If the school in his district is a better school I personally would consider it, however, if they are in the same category of schools and you’re the primary parent I’d say keep her in your district.

I’d say put the child in the school district where she resides in. He’s the one that moved, since you have another child, id say keep em in the same district to make it easier for pickup/drop off. I’d just explain why you feel the way you feel
Enroll her in what District your address is in if you have primary custody…

Should be in the district of whoever drops off and gets him or her in my opinion
If she lives with you primarily, then you are the one who has to get her to and from school. If he wants to come get her everyday and drive her to an out of district school, then pick her up and bring her home after, then maybe discuss it.

What the others said where ever she lives primarily legally is where she is suppose to attend at least where I live that’s how they have always gone by

Which district does the child primarily reside in? That is the school they should be attending.

How old is the child? Is it a better school?
Siblings are just as important as parents
Common pitfall of “shared custody”, it really works for the same reason the marriage didn’t work…
Enroll them where u feel it’s the right thing for u and the kids
If you have to, take him to court. Pretty sure a judge would side with you. Its stupid to put them in separate schools and since he only has 1…
Most districts don’t allow a child to attend their schools if they don’t reside in the district. If your child resides with you, they should go to school where you live, not where he lives. Tell him to shut up and stop being a dick.
