The question was the paragraph!

OP, this it the first I have heard of it also, but I get SO many APS emails I might have missed it.

Apparently it's a new process. I just got the email about an hour ago. What a pain to have to either find this paperwork or get a new copy... I'm annoyed, tbh.

You don’t have readily available copies of your lease or deed?

I probably do but they are filed away and, frankly, I really don't want to take the time to deal with it.

Then don't. Proof of residency is required for enrollment as allowed by Virginia law. Your kid is already enrolled, so the burden falls to the school if they want to unenroll them based on residency. Hopefully at least one obstinate parent refuses and then appeals it though the courts if the school takes action.

You don’t think the court would be pissed at the waste of resources when all people need to do if provide one document?

And all bc they “don’t want to” 😂. How ridiculous, you guys have probably spent more time reading this thread than it would’ve taken you to find the document.

The first deadline is a month to get in the easy ones. After they start working with families to sort things out. The real deadline is May 15.

I doubt it was one incident. There is a larger issue of address fraud in APS and this at least provides some procedure to keep it in check. It probably needs to be a little more frequent if they want to avoid as many investigations into suspicious situations.

I also suspect there is substantial address fraud. Or vehicle property tax fraud. Perhaps both.

Exactly. I had to hunt down my deed when my first went to kindergarten. But now I know exactly what it looks like and where it is filed in my house. Has it moved around OP? You need a family filing system. Even just a filing box with important stuff in one place is a good idea. This shouldn't be a difficult ask.

Arlington Public Schools (APS) is launching the new Home Address Confirmation Process (HACP) to verify the home address of fifth and eighth grade students in preparation for the 2023-24 school year. This new process will allow us to maintain accurate student records and to comply with Virginia law and our admissions policy.

In the past, we have conducted home address checks as necessary, but this process ensures address checks occur consistently for all students at major school transition points.

We are now requiring current fifth and eighth grade families to resubmit or update the home address documents they initially provided during registration. The deadline to submit these documents is March 15, 2023.

This is the first I heard of this and only a month? Did I miss something somewhere?

The email literally says "APS is launching the new...."

You didn't miss anything, they are literally explaining it to you in this email with a link that shows you what you need and where to submit.

This is the correct answer.

Found the resident fraud/a-hole.

It takes no time to not bother. The county knows where I live when it sends me property and vehicle tax bills, it can figure out where I live for enrollment purposes too

+1 over my experience working in APS and sending my kids to school there have always been 10+ cars with Maryland plates at drop off. While some of them may be mixed custody/babysitting there are a decent number that are either living outside of Arlington or using an address to register their car in Maryland to avoid taxes. APS was recently hiring for a residency fraud investigator so I think it’s about to get stricter.

Arlington county and APS are separate entities.

I doubt it. They’re probably just one of those people who gets furious at everything APS does or does not do

they probably also complain about residence fraud but then also complain when APS does something about it

Technically the 5th and 8th graders are not enrolled in their future schools yet. That’s probably why they picked those years.

And if you are in a choice school, you may lose your spot. I am sure the people on the waitlist at HB will gladly take it from you, while providing proof of residency in a timely manner.
