[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's "surprising" how many cars with Maryland plates are dropping kids off in the morning at some FCPS.  I venture to say, not all these people with Maryland registered cars are simply avoiding paying a car tax.[/quote]

I’ve seen MD plates dropping kids off at the bus stop as well.

I support residency checks, but they should be done In conjunction with the boundary review. One can walk and chew gum at the same time. [/quote]

What does a residency check entail?   Actually sending someone to knock on doors and demand to see the kid's bedroom and toothbrush?  For EVERY single student in FCPS?[/quote]

There are plenty of schools in the US what do residency checks. I'm sure we could figure out some tactics for doing that from them. Such as, [b]bringing a valid lease and utilities statement to the school before the start of the school year[/b] to prove that you live in district? I would 100 percent support this before we get any further along in this boundary process. After the Hayfield disaster, it's the least FCPS should be doing.[/quote]

You already have to do that when you register at a school. I guess this would catch people who move out of a school district. [/quote]

EXACTLY.  You have to prove it already.  Doens't help if somebody is using a "homeless" clause or a valid pupil placement.  [/quote]
