No, it's not the residence of the child that matters. It's the residence of the
parent who enrolls the child that matters. And if the person who enrolls the child is not a parent, then they have to provide proof of custody or proof that the child is a ward of DC. If they have none of these documents, they must consent to a home visit.
Yes, there are cheaters of every stripe and hue when it comes to tax-funded services, (and they are more often white people but, hey, it's not about race) but in most cases, people are abiding by the rules. Not only are their domestic circumstances none of your f*cking business, there are absolutly NO poor children being denied anything - at least, not to the tune of all the tiny violins played here. There's a place for every DC child in DC public schools. Hell, the schools in the poorest areas of the city are underenrolled.
Stop this bullshit about poor kids being denied. It's such a lame argument for your manic busybodyness.
Crusade against tax cheaters - tons of them in the wealthy enclaves of DC, with others making tons of money to help them.
