[quote=Anonymous][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]

It does not require a detective following people.  Most of it can be done through paper documents.

It takes a phone call to the person who is violating it.  A question as to why it has been reported and a reminder of what would occur.  A casual question to the kid.

Again, this can be resolved in other ways.  Example:  new tenant reports getting school mail from prior tenant.  Phone call is made to the prior tenant with a question and a request for documentation.  Most people when caught will do something else.  It doesn't require a court case--just getting caught with hand in the cookie jar will result in action.[/quote]
