[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think we can say the evidence appears to be that the students mostly appear to be DC residents - I think we have evidence that in a few cases Ellington families identified as non-DC residents have demonstrated that they live in DC.[/quote]

What we have evidence of is[b] OSSE’s inability to follow the administrative procedures [/b]related to allegations of residency fraud.

We know that some families have been able to prove they are residents.

We don’t know of anyone who has said “yeah, you got me here is your check / we’re out of here” and we know that at least 90% of students re-enrolled, suggesting they feel they have a winn key case.

It will be months before anyone knows the full story. [/quote]

OSSE is using the records provided by Ellington.   If the Ellington registrar did their job, this would never have been a story.  [/quote]

The OSSE's failure was not to tell each family why their documents were found inadequate (e.g. "you submitted a lease for an address that is a commercial establishment" or "the guardianship document you provided appears to be fake") which they must do under DC's law. They just said "we think you don't live in DC" without saying why.

And the registrar isn't supposed to determine whether a document is real or fake. That's not their role. [/quote]
