Can we get a district wide residency check of all FCPS high schools?

Not at all. If you live within the boundary of where your kid goes to school, it shouldn't be a very big deal to show evidence that you live there. This isn't hard.

Agree! The only people who would be opposed to this are those whose kids shouldn't be there in the first place.

No, lots of us are opposed. I live in our district and I don’t want to annually send a copy of our mortgage to their school.

+1 I alread proved where we lived when my child first enrolled. Waste of time and resources to do it every year:

Sounds like this poster moved out of district and is using an old address to attend a school they shouldn't be at.

That would be the only reason why someone would be so against comfirming their residency.

Was staying with grandparents in local school boundary. A HS AP saw a social media post that parent had moved- and investigated and kid had to leave HS. Average student- no discipline problem. Under enrolled school.

Similar thing happened to a kid at our ES (was in my child's class). Dad had custody, Mom was in our ES zone. Kid was enrolled at our ES. Kid actually lived with custodial parent. Middle of the year kid was quietly unenrolled. Not sure how the school caught it, but they did.

Why doesn't FCPS implement a system where anyone can attend whichever school they wanted? For example, if you live in Annandale, you can attend Langley HS if you want to but you will have to provide your own transportation?

They do allow this in a limited amount. But there has to be a reason and there has to be room at the school you are requesting a transfer to.

Some of the issues are sports (see the Hayfield debacle). Obviously some are space. You also lose the neighborhood feel of schools.

That is called school choice.

FFX is run by democrats and democrats are vehemently against anything that remotely looks like school choice.

Why? That would fix a lot of the issues and open up opportunities for a lot of people...but likely wouldn't be too overwhelming for "good" schools, because you still have to deal wiht a large county and terrible commuting times.

That is 100% not what school choice refers to.

That is a huge part of it.

Taxpayer dollars follow the kid to whatever school the parent chooses for them, including other public schools.

DP. School choice usually refers to some combo of public charter schools and vouchers for private, not for going to any public you want.

Is there a way for parents to report? Arlington you can email the information and then they do verification.

There are plenty of ways to snitch. You can call the police, call the superintendents office, or contact a school board member.

It's definitely not democrats that are calling for a school wide audit to catch all the poors that are sneaking into their UMC schools.

Like in California, except that since everyone wants to go to the same few schools, they had to implement a lottery. So kids actually go to school by lottery, not parent choice. Funny how school choice turned into equity.

Dc also has lotteries/school choice and most parents appear to be very happy with the options.
