I get it, but isn’t Camden a public high school? How does this exactly work? Don’t you need to show residency?

I get catholic schools, prep schools, academies, etc. but how does that exactly work for a public school? No difference between Camden High and Bristol Central in that regard, or am I wrong?

Bradshaw lives in a house that Dejuan Wagner owns, I think. My recollection is that Camden uses some kind of magnet school loophole to get these kids that involves them paying a nominal "tuition" that is basically a completely arbitrary de minimis amount of money. And I believe the only students who are at Camden under this loophole happen to be on the basketball team. There was some kind of halfassed "investigation" into this done not that long ago.

Totally forgot about this. It's basically like the Suffield or Glastonbury HS agriculture programs. Kids play on the same sports teams but are actually out-of-town kids. And in this case, the magnet school is conveniently only used by athletes.

Good shot the kid isn't paying a penny either. Home districts pay the tuition for magnet schools in CT... which is one reason why you see underfunded schools in Hartford, but a high per pupil spending.
