[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Residency fraud is a huge issue in MCPS also. It’s tough to enforce and there is not enough staff to do so anyway. [/quote] Still the Wapo article says there's a lot more staff dedicated to residency fraud there. [quote] In neighboring Montgomery County, Md., where the public school system has almost twice as many students as the District, a spokesman said 52 employees spend at least part of their time on residency investigations. Last fiscal year, the system investigated 225 residency claims and found 135 of those families lived outside the county. In Virginia’s Fairfax County, the school district’s central office employs 15 attendance officers whose duties include investigating residency fraud. A spokesman said fewer than 100 students were found to be living outside Fairfax County each year for the past eight years. The District currently has a single investigator responsible for all residency fraud cases.[/quote][/quote]
