That will shut down half the schools in wards 5, 7, and 8. I'll believe it when I see it.

I heard it recently. I am looking for a link and when I find one I'll post it.

The administrators at our WOTP school have been informed we have three residency cheaters. DC is going to be invoicing the families involved.

The city can charge tuition to people who live outside DC (residency cheating). But boundary cheating (living at one DC address but enrolling under another) doesn't seem to carry a financial penalty.

No financial penalty. The students can be expelled and it's up to the Principal to enforce this immediately, or wait until the end of the school year.

And in "go along, get along DCPS" what course do you think most principals will choose? -- that is, unless parents of legitimately enrolled students make it clear that they are fed up with overcrowding and residency cheating. Students who are fraudulently enrolled should be kicked out immediately as a deterrent to others.

Yes, parental oversight is key. I recommend that PTOs take a stand on this issue. Some say that at Deal we have some 150 kids who are not IB/from feeders. That would not be the end of our overcrowding problems, but would certainly help.

I'm PP and these are Residency Cheaters from MD, not boundary cheaters. Three families. If they haven't already gotten the invoices, they will soon.

But the point is, when they ferret out residency cheaters from outside DC, the response cannot be "ok, here's your invoice because you really need to be paying tuition." The reality is that the student, or more accurately his family, obtained that spot through fraud and subterfuge. It's likely that student took some DC student's place. How does a DC family feel, when they can't get into Wilson or when their whole school was removed from the historic Deal feeder pattern, if a MD fraudster family is allowed to stay in those schools provided they start paying tuition. No, the cheating student needs to be kicked out, the parents sued for past tuition owed and hopefully prosecuted as well for fraud and theft of services.

Outside Hearst ES in NW DC yesterday around 4:20 pm: Students being picked up in two Maryland cars with parent-aged drivers. Another Maryland car waiting outside Hearst. Why are Maryland kids going to DCPS?

Most likely explanation is divorced parents, one of whom lives in Maryland. Assuming joint custody kids can go to either MD or DC schools.

Three cars, three kids, all from divorced families living in Maryland? Sorry, while the explanation may hold in particular cases, the number of Maryland kids suggests there's something more going on.

3 divorced kids seems like a lot to you?

Out of a school population of 300 it's not a lot.

In our PTO, grade 4 and 5 was prime divorce time.

Also, look up the McKinney-Vento Act. If people are classified as homeless, they have special dispensations to cross state lines where school is concerned.

Like babysitters, or aunts, or foster parents, or kids covered under McKinney-Vento . . . .

They shouldn't be unless they are paying tuition. Call it in and let the system handle it. If they are legit, it will be easy for them to provide documentation for their presence at Hearst.
