[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is that there isn’t enough staff to do the investigations. There used to be attendance officers assigned to specific regions in the county. As an administrator, I would work with ours and uncovered many residency frauds. They would look up tax records, follow cars home, do stake-outs and meet with me to confront families. Then a few years ago, those went away. Now there is one residency investigator. The job could pay for itself in tax dollars saved.

The next time there is a community meeting, ask Reid why there is only one residency investigator. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are lost because we’re educating students who live in Maryland, Alexandria City and Prince William county. [/quote]

Icky. Regardless of how you feel about residency fraud, the thought of some low-paid rent-a-cop following FCPS children home and staking them out (which sounds like the textbook definition of stalking), doesn’t sit well with me. Not something I plan to ask Reid to do.[/quote]

They’re following the parents! These kids are getting in cars driven by their parents and going home to other jurisdictions. No one is hiding in bushes following a kid down the sidewalk.

The investigators will find documentation of a home sale in Maryland. He then parks outside the home in the morning, watches the kids get in the car and then either follows the car or asks the school to see what kind of car the kids get out of when they arrive.

And they’re not stalking. Per Mr. Google, stalking is a pervasive and unwelcome pursuit that infringes on an individual's privacy and sense of safety. On the other hand, investigating serves a purpose, often legal or professional, to gather information without crossing ethical lines.[/quote]
