Keep in mind, if you lose the job so goes the charter school.

Truck will be in lady lake any help would be very appreciated

In your OP above, you mention your wife will be looking for a job in the villages, so as other posters have suggested why not pursue that angle first to see if she can find a village eligible job? That way you would not have to pay the extra expense for office space and can continue working from home. You seem determined to get your children in The Villages charter school and I don't blame you from what I have heard about it. I truly hope you find a way to do it.

I hope this is all preliminary to your moving here.

If you can't get your kids into the charter schools, check the school surrounding TV. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at some of their ratings. No question TV charter schools are good, but surrounding schools are much better than many of us would have thought.

Also, be aware that the TV high school is now accepting only students whose parents work directly for The Villages or in the squares -- used to be that employees of the restaurants like The Olive Garden and banks had their kids enrolled in TV. Sadly, the high school has become overcrowded and TV felt the best solution was to limit enrollment even more. Something tells me that this policy will ultimately trickle down as TV itself grows.

As to sub-leasing space, I wish you luck. I'm not sure that just having space in TV would be sufficient -- you probably would have to somehow qualify your business with TV and I doubt they'd consider someone subletting space as being a viable business for charter school admission.

Just out of curiosity, is your purpose for moving here just to get the kids in the TVCS? I don't mean to be nosy but you should really investigate whether the school is right for you and your family first hand before you make that type of commitment. We had a kid in the school and things are not all sunshine and lollipops(true of any school). You must approach this with an open mind and speak to folks with kids in school there and folks that had kids there. If you have kids of special needs, they will not be accommodated. Feel free to PM me and I can put you in touch with actual teachers and parents with kids that go there. I will even get you in touch with my son if you wish. By the way, I teach in a local school have many opinions of all the local schools including mine. Just fyi...

It sounds to me as if the OP is trying to work within the system. As he said, he should have stated that he was looking to sublease space in an established Villages' establishment and his wife is looking for a job within The Villages. Asking if anyone knows of a business that would put him on the payroll without him actually working for that business would be trying to break the system. He is not doing this.

Enrollment is based on a tier system. 1) Direct employee of TV, 2)contractor of TV, 3)business operating on TV property. I have a feeling the powers that be know what businesses operate within TV. I also doubt very seriously if commercial leases allow for subletting.

Check on your homeowner insurance policy before agreeing would be my reply.

I believe that he is actually looking for "office space"m not space in a home, with the assumption that if he rented from the villages his kids could go to the charter school.

Maybe you should read again all of the OPs posts. He is not even beginning to attempt to "get around" anything at all.

Best wishes to you and your family as you relocate and hope you are able to secure employment that will permit your children to attend the Charter School.
