Worth Reporting - In-Boundary Fraud?

In our particular school, it is/was families using grandparent addresses to gain access for prek. We also know of folks letting their nannies use their address to allow children/grandchildren to gain access to DC preK. Meanwhile legit DC residents are on waiting lists 50 deep for a prek spot.

OSSE specifically says it doesn't investigate District of Columbia boundary issues on the reporting form, only out-of-state issues! (I do not agree with this)

That's so easy to get around. I'm surprised more people don't do this.

People who can afford this sleight of hand are doing it at the expense of those folks who cannot afford it and so have to, as PP says, play by the rules. Sure, go ahead. But pls don’t bother talking about equity in education because you have lost all credibility.

Where are your kids in school? And you think it’s better that those middle class families all move to Maryland?

No "middle class family" can afford an apartment in Ward 3 in addition to their home in Shaw.

Of course they can. Tons of people rent EOTP houses and rent in Ward 3. Happens all of the time. It’s just a question of doing it for a year or making it a permanent move. And if they bought 10 years ago, their mortgage is probably half what newer families pay. We could rent our Ward 4 rowhouse for $1-1.5k more than our mortgage.

If they live in DC, I think ok. But if they live outside of the city...just no.

Didn't your kindergarten teachers teach you not to be a tattle tale? Grow up and stop being a self righteous crone. Do you call the unmowed lawn cops too? Do you report neighbors with expired tags?

You don't know their whole situation.

You don't know who might do the same to you. You arent perfect. Do you want someone blabbing to everyone your secrets?

By this logic, if you see someone breaking into a car, you shouldn't call 911. Maybe they just got locked out! Same thing with some sneaking through a window.

OP you should report to osse and the school.

The only people mad about this are the ones that overpaid to live in-bounds and are equally mad at “those” OOB students taking up space in “their” schools. Or maybe charter lottery winners who don’t like thinking their kids aren’t in the best school possible. If you don’t like it, petition OSSE to change the policy. Don’t be petty and spiteful.

For real. This is an issue for the Wilson feeder schools. No one else cares.

Except it’s not against OSSE policy. A PP has posted that multiple times and you’re ignoring them. You don’t like it, that’s not a reason to report something that OSSE explicitly they don’t investigate.

Mind your business it’s that simple.

The best schools possible aren’t in DC.

Report them. And then let it go.
