I just realized that a child in my kids' JKLM lives in Maryland.
Where do i report this? I am going to type something up with all the appropriate addresses and info and send it to our principal. Who do i send it to in DCPS central administration? |

thank you!
I will call today. |
| How do we know that not just one parent lives in Maryland while the other lives in DC? Stop being a snitch, OP! |
|
Actually, I will call weekly until this child is removed.
This type of fraud (Marylander using a fake DC address) makes me crazy. |
Why do you care what others are doing? How does it affect you? Do you have proof that this child has absolutely NO ties to DC? |
My child's class is overcrowded. I push hard on this one. |
Ok, fair enough. |
I hate this attitude PP, OP is perfectly within her rights to make sure that a MD family isn't stealing money and a spot from a kid that it should be serving. I'm not at JKLM, but as a DC taxpayer, I care. |
| Ok OP, I feel your point, but I'm curious as to how you KNOW this child lives in Maryland and has no parent or legal guardian living in DC? |
NP here. OSSE can only act if it gets tips. If the family can prove residency, then it gets dropped. If there's fraud, then it should be caught and stopped. |
| In bounds or OOB? Why would an MD family send their DC to DCPS when MCPS has good options? |
| Not all cheaters live in MoCo. Not all MoCo schools are good options. |
You do realize that MD is not JUST MOCO, right? PG is just as close and I'd bet that if there is truly a MD family there, they are from PG. -Signed a PG resident who applied to MySchoolDC with a DC address and got matched at a HRCS

| I would just be VERY SURE the student has no ties to your district. A friend of my childs got called on 4-5 times during a semester she was mainly staying with her grandmother because her mother was going through intensive chemo and as a family they all stayed at the childs grandparents house/mothers parents house. They lived in the appropriate district but when people say the grandmas car all the time at pick up with the wrong license plate they would call. I felt so bad for the mother and child because they were really trying to keep things low key and it turned into anything but. |
