The article is from last year. It refers to an opening game in Florida that they played in 2023 and says that the QB is "gearing up for his junior season" when he is now a senior (class of 2025). Lots of websites change the dates on their articles to finish higher in search results. |

So they notify people that they are checking to see if they really live somewhere before showing up?
How are these "routine residency checks" typically conducted? "In addition to routine residency checks, in which residency officers examine whether students are leaving — and returning — to the home address listed, Reid said that senior staff recently made seven additional visits to homes on short notice." |

It says "on short notice" so that means they let people know they are coming ahead of time......
Was the meeting recorded? |

| Did they take questions? I imagine people had some. |

| Reid answered maybe 5 questions then said any other questions come ask me one on one. HHS admin and the coaches were sitting up front so you would have been talking to Reid in front of that gallery… |

LOL! Yes, its so easy to talk to the superintendent of FCPS 1 on 1.
What were the questions? Is the meeting recorded? |

A proper investigation would have found something.
I bet they did something like, look at the student's listed addresses on paper, call the parent and ask, do you live here? Take their word for it and check them off. If you are investigating residency fraud, how do you not talk to the actual students and ask them questions? |

| At what point of score discrepancy do they start running the clock for HS games? |

Its about getting recruited to college. Its not about getting better. Playing much weaker teams will give an individual player a bunch of amazing clips to show to college recruiters ("Watch me blow by ten poor kids from Annandale who didn't play football before high school"). |

ONly runs in the second half once the point spread is 35 or more. |

I think its very questionable to hire the football coach as the head of school security.
Football games are often the place where school security incidents occur. How can the head of security be on top of things when he is out coaching a game. In particular, lopsided games which is what they will have all season can get ugly really fast. |

But people on this board assured us that there were going to be many arrests. Seems like the FCPS residency checks aren’t quite as robust as advertised. Maybe that’s why certain FCPS schools have such a low enrollment? |

I'm curious about what the normal procedure is for these residency checks and what they did in this situation. No one really believes that 14+ families all relocated their entire lives this summer to rent in the Hayfield school zone for kids to attend for maybe only one school year, right? Its laughable. |

| It sounds like they called the parents and asked them where they lived. LOL. |

| This situation needs an independent VDOE investigation (one not financed by FCPS) and not just an informal legal opinion by someone friendly to FCPS based on a cursory review of the notes. This likely goes higher than just the coach and principal. |
