[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only way they can enforce this policy is if they have records of which kids matched in the lottery OOB and which were IB preference. [/quote]

This data definitely exists.

I suspect this is most likely to enforced at schools where people are most likely to try and game the system by moving IB for a short time and then returning to their actual, permanent home OOB. So basically, NW schools with crowding issues. Maybe some of the elementaries on the Hill where people have reportedly sometimes played fast and loose with the boundary rules, if overcrowding becomes an issue there.

Most schools are not going to bother with hit but the info is absolutely possible to compile and use to check boundary status.

[b]The biggest thing here is that I would read this as an indication that DCPS actually does care about boundary fraud and maybe making an effort to curb it or close loopholes. The conventional wisdom for a while has been that DCPS only cares about residency fraud; I think that may be shifting by necessity as so many DCPS schools deal with overcrowding issues, and it is no longer reasonable to look the other way on this stuff.[/b][/quote]
