[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW this is my Janney Story (I have a kid in K.)  I never got the summer mailing and went to the office to investigate.  They had my address completely wrong - wrong number and wrong street (not even like Albemarle/Alton - totally different street names).  I asked the woman if my form was hard to read so she pulled it out and it was very neat penmanship.  It was just a straight up error.  I have since corrected it.

Anyways, if I hadn't I am sure someone might have thought something was fishy, especially if they were a close neighbor to the wrong address.

Now, would I care if someone challenged my residency status?  NO - because it would take me about 5 minutes to get together my documents to prove that I am IB.

OP - report them.  If nothing is wrong it's hardly an inconvenience to prove it.  If they are cheating, then that is that.[/quote]

You read this sort of post on DCUM all the time, and it's hard to disagree that DC public school documentation requirements should be upped and rules tightened.  I don't understand why this doesn't happen, year in and year out.  I could easily provide triple the residence documentation I'm asked to, including HUD documents, and it would be my pleasure to.  I don't want to deal with rumors swirling about where I actually live, because I got in early on hot real estate in my ward and own several properties there.

Where is the coalition of the willing to crack down on residency fraud by heading it off in the first place?  Do any of our politicians so much as broach this pressing issue?  Residency fraud costs DC millions yet I find nothing about raising the residency bar in campaign literature.  Very frustrating.  [/quote]

You've got it a bit wrong -- every complaint I've ever read here is about MD tags.  Opportunistic vampires on my tax dollars.  But you're a successful business person and keep your money in D.C. -- good for you!  And I want your child in my kid's class, I'm sure s/he has a lot to show the other kids on how to be successful.[/quote]

With all respect, I don't under this post at all.  Are you equating residence fraudsters with entrepreneurs?[/quote]
