The New York Post first reported on Melania and Barron Trump's post-election plans, and now NBC News echos the newspaper: Sources say the two will not accompany Donald Trump to the White House in the immediate aftermath of his Jan. 20 inauguration, but will rather remain largely in Trump Tower until the completion of Barron's school year at Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School. He'll wrap up the fourth grade in June, per the New York Daily News.

The Washington Post earlier this month speculated about which school Barron would end up attending in Washington, DC. For 35 years, the kids of presidents have enrolled in just one: Sidwell Friends. But an educational consultant thinks Trump may look south, and suggests some possible options in Virginia. (More President Trump stories.)
