My ex and I split custody with our 7th grade son and are unsure which address CPS uses when determining what tier to associate with a student. Since I live in a lower tier we’d prefer to use mine but she is labeled as the primary caretaker of our son. I’ve checked CPS’ website and can’t find any information about this so was hoping someone here might be able to help.
Thanks in advance for information you can share!

If you share joint custody and your child sleeps at night at only one residence the majority of the time, that is the child’s primary address, and that is the address that must be entered on the application. In cases of joint custody where a child’s residence is equally divided between two addresses, either address may be used. Note that the address of only ONE parent can be used; your child cannot be considered for schools by using more than one address, and your child cannot submit applications with different addresses. The address that is used for the application and selection process must be the same, single address. If your child submits applications with more than one address, they will be considered for the selection process using the address on the first application that is processed by the Office of Access and Enrollment.
