Well they showed proof of residency when they enrolled the child. Write the attorney as a citizen and taxpayer of Arlington County and demand poof of residency if that’s not good enough for you.

They were required to submit proof again a few months ago because of the new HACP process. Should be very easy to check.

Sure you can submit anything
Unless someone is actually checking the submissions and substantiating them then there isn’t anything really being checked.
I am guessing this is the standard procedure for all local school systems since they don’t have time to investigate every single document. Probably something AI trained with public record searches could help with in the future

APS doesn't have the resources to verify every single student's address. They are focusing on 5th and 8th graders - the transition years - right now. This kid is reportedly an 8th grader, right? I don't know the process for verifying; but if he indeed does not qualify, hopefully APS catches it.

I do know someone is checking them but I don't know how far into verifying the document they go. But our school office staff spent ages checking on submissions and contacting families about improper documents.

It's called "Nose Dive" from the TV Show Minute to Win It. Unless anything involving cotton at all is racist then I don't understand the outrage here. https://www.liveabout.com/minute-to-win-it-nose-dive-1396676

If we're here gossiping about it, I'm sure APS has caught on that they should look a little closer at the paperwork for the kid whose parents are demanding $10 million from the school district for a game from Minute to Win It.

Honestly, switching schools would be the best thing for the kid at this point. His parents have screwed him over so badly with this.

Yes, it could be a good option. I suspect the "bullying" from other students was just a few comments in the aftermath, and that now the kids have forgotten about it and moved on (because this is how it's worked in both of my children's school systems)... but apparently the parents are pathologically sensitive.

This poor child. He has to grow up with crazy parents. He has all my sympathy.

Switching districts would be even better - for everyone, especially the kid.

They have younger kids, too, so they might all get kicked out...

So as I think about the demographics of the class, I wonder if perhaps this student is part of the Montessori program within Gunston, in which case there’s even more reason to be angry about their potential fraud.

Send a letter to the VA attorney general to look into the residency fraud

Has there ever been a case of someone being forced to pay back tuition to a public school?

In Arlington? Don't know, but a bunch of Arlington and Fairfax parents were sending their kids to Ellington and DC wasn't charging them, and eventually they got caught.
