[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But mom has custody. What right does some school board have in redefining legal definitions? Are these terms even clearly explained to all parents when they enroll? Just about every family is going to have some kind of address or status change in the next 12 years, and if some school board redefines their definitions, do they even inform everyone?

Starting a witch hunt of currently enrolled students is not going to fix the issue with dc education. The inquisition board is a waste of education dollars that could be spent better.[/quote]

based on the article there was a hearing where the family lied on the facts (where the child lives). if you say that your grand child lives with his mom in DC while he comes home every night with you in MD, has dinner with you, sleeps in your home and you druve him to school the day after, it is not an honest mistake. she has only be accused so far, so we will have to see how it goes[/quote]

[b]I don't know why the family lied at the hearing[/b].  Perhaps they were afraid that a more thourough investigation would uncover damaging information, e.g., mom's current boyfriend, whom she loves deeply, is a convicted pedophile and if her relationship with him were discovered child and family services would be called in.

Perhaps they also think that the law requires children attending DCPS to be DC residents.  Why wouldn't they?  DCPS insists that this is the law.

A person who has not broken the law does not become guilty of breaking the law because he mistakenly believes he has broken the law.  He must actually break the law to be guilty. [/quote]

1)the law says that only if the primary caregiver is a DC resident the child can attend DCPS (the law is clear except for a handful of DCUM posters)
2)the woman was a long time principal of DCPS, so one of the people who sure knows very well the law and is even required to verify applications to her school, not a teen ager parent who does not know better
3) there was a hearing where she was asked questions about facts (where does your grand child sleeps at night? who drives him to school? who drives him to doctor's app> and so on) and she LIED. she was not asked about her opinion or beliefs of the meaning of a status, she was asked about facts, and she chose not to tell the truth
and you aresaying bthat you do not know why she lied? is your IQ 3? I give you a hint - she lied because she knew her grandchild was a MD resident under the law and was not supposed to be in nDCPS and she had committed residency fraud in enrolling him in her school, and she was trying to cover her tracks.
your own example does not make sense. if the mother lives withb a convicted pedophile, swearing at the hearing that the child lives with her and the pedophile would not do any good
I confirm that a person does not become guilty of breaking the law becauiswe he mistakenly thinks he broke the law and he must actually brake the law to be guilty. he got this right!. and she broke the law , this is why she is being prosecuted. [/quote]
