Reporting a family in school outside of their neighborhood...

Anonymous wrote:I believe something similar was posted but here is my situation - there is a family in our neighborhood who moved in from another nearby neighborhood and they continue to send their sons to the (old) school, instead of transferring to the neighborhood school they are zoned for. My children actually go to the the school they are zoned for (magnet program) and aren't at the neighborhood school. I'm not a fan of the influence of the sons on my kids at school and particularly on the bus. I realize you can't escape this stuff, but the truth of the matter is that they shouldn't be going to the school! I am considering ratting them out to the school board -- I do, actually know their circumstances and they are just forcing it for convenience sake, hoping they don't get caught. I realize this is incredibly petty and if I were in the same position I'd be pissed...but...anyone have any experience with this or know how these things go?

New neighbors moved in 2 months ago and FCPS let their kids finish off the school year at their current school. One of my dear friends just moved halfway through the year and also decided to keep her girls at our school for the remainder of the school year.

There might be an easy way to see if FCPS knows about this - does your school have a directory of some sort? Ours does - it's A to Z - and you can find addresses for the parents. If the out-of-boundary address is listed in the directory, then the odds are really good that FCPS knows where they live.

If they're riding a magnet bus maybe they are in the magnet program ....

MYOB. You're an evil person and you know it. Don't look here for validation.

OP, this is really easy.
You can tell the school.
The school might tell you that this family has the right to do what they're doing.
In that case, I hope you'll feel appropriately guilty.
Or you might not see this family again.
In that case, I hope you won't feel nastily vindicated. But you probably will, because you don't sound very nice.

I can imagine what kind of neighbor you would have been in a tougher time with real opportunities...

Nazi Germany's, Stasi Germany, cultural revolution China,

Our Principal continually sends notices for parents to report. They have a full-time employee devoted to residency fraud.

We are at a N Arlington school and the cheaters mean bigger classes and less resources.

Report them.

We are already over-capacity. Get the cheaters out!!

OP, don't let these people get you down. I had a similar situation with a couple of kids who wound up with mine (3rd and first grades). Terrible influences.

I thought there was no way that they could be in the district, so I reported them. It turned out they were living in some sort of "committed affordable housing" that we have on Lee Highway.

So from there I reported them to ICE, on the chance that they were illegals. Bingo! They were gone by the end of the month

Is this in Fairfax Co? If so, I thought it was damn near impossible to get ICE involved because of the whole sanctuary city thing. The parents must have had some pretty serious outstanding criminal charges or something, which I would hope/ think would have been checked before they'd been allowed into affordable housing, sheesh.

You gotta be a troll, right?

"I thought there was no way that they could be in the district" - what the heck does that mean?

Here is the fairfax policy-http://www.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/8TPJAK4C3EDA/$file/R2230.pdf

they can finish the year. Next year the older kid can get a 'senior' transfer, and the younger kid can get a sibling transfer. Then the year after the younger kid will get senior transfer.

I put my money on Haycock, too. Those moms are evil.
