So fraud is ok as long as children benefit from it?

I didn’t say it was ok. Just that I myself am not the person in charge of managing fraud or reporting people. If FCPS can’t figure it out I dont see why OP would put that on herself.

It’s not your job to protect your neighbor’s home but you’d call the fire department if you saw it on fire….wouldn’t you?

If you saw someone robbing a bank you’d call someone no? This is stealing - just the same as robbing a bank.

I wish FCPS had a process to check everyone and clean out the books. There is a terrible amount of fraud going on. It’s not fair to the people who pay to live close in to D.C. and then these cheaters live further out and get cheaper housing costs yet use FCPS resources.

Do you yourself know specifically of fraud? I suspect there might be, but I don't know anyone that I think is abusing it.

Nope. Not the same sort of crime and you know it. Stop exaggerating because you're not doing your side any favors.

The thread appears to be animated by a very persistent troll who feels very strongly that residency fraud is like arson and armed robbery. Maybe it's the OP, since OP hasn't been back.

Regardless, it turned into another useless thread.

Stealing is stealing my friend.

DP and a secondary teacher. I have had multiple students over the years talk about their "real houses" and tell me they don't live in Fairfax. It happens more than most people realize.
FCPS should definitely be checking and the PPP is right that it is not fair.

Not the Hayfield poster.

I do think the Hayfield thing was egregious, but I don't think the problem is as widespread as the poster believes.

But op knew and didn’t care to report it until the woman was snide with her. So she never had any moral or ethical qualms she felt called to answer for. That’s why reporting now is so lame. It’s just extreme payback for workplace friction. She did not care enough to report before.

Any time is a good time to grow a backbone and start doing the right thing.

This is not that though. Op didn’t wake up and think “this residency fraud is really eating at me and I need to do the right thing.” Op got pissed and wants this woman to face a consequence because of it. The motivation here matters, to me at least.

This. You should have reported her long ago. Let us know how it goes.

How is this different from illegals?

They are not paying taxes either. They are stealing resources from those who are paying taxes.

It definitely is. Investigations should start in schools in the eastern part of the county that are closer to the PG County Maryland line and Alexandria City. A lot of the cheaters are from MD.

Yes, turn her in. Don’t want my VA tax dollars going to support outsiders.
