<p>Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have been running a private school called BBS, formerly called Bicken Ben, at their Palo Alto home.</p>
<p>Journalist Heather Knight reported in the New York Times today, "Mark Zuckerberg has been denounced after a school he and his wife established for children from low-income families in East Palo Alto announced in April that it will be shutting down, leaving students and their parents confused and angry. But it turns out that a mile away, behind a high wall of hedges, the billionaire and his wife, Priscilla Chan, were running a private school out of a house at their Palo Alto compound for two of their daughters and a dozen other children. And they were doing it in violation of city code."</p>
<p>The couple, which moved to Crescent Park in Palo Alto in 2011, have three daughters, and two reportedly attend the in-home school. Aaron McLear, a spokesperson for Zuckerberg and Chan said the couple's children were part of a home-school pod, and it was not a private school. In addition to Zuckerberg and Chan's two children, there are 12 other children in the school; McLear added the other students did not pay any tuition. The Times added, "The state documents refer to the site as a private school, but Mr. McLear disputed that description, saying the affidavits did not allow for a distinction…Whatever the label, the family is moving the endeavor to a different location out of Crescent Park, he said."</p>
<p>Palo Alto bans businesses from operating in private homes "if the employees do not live there and if it generates more traffic than a normal home would. Such a use would require special city approval, which Mr. Zuckerberg did not obtain," per the Times.</p>
<p>Zuckerberg and Chan own property in Washington, D.C., Palo Alto, San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, and Hawaii.</p>
