[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Common problem everywhere that I don't think school officials want to address. Federal funds are tied to the number of enrolled students. It's not difficult to use technology and perform cross checks for enrollment eligibility. Citizens have to hold the powers that be accountable before anything happens. To my knowledge DCPS, doesn't have a CIO. However, they could leverage the the DC's CIO for assistance or hire their own. Maybe some turf wars but it can be done.[/quote] 70-80% of public school budgets are from local funds, not federal funds. I agree that it is a question of political will. DC politicians (mayor + council) want to talk about growing enrollment, do NOT want to close any existing schools (never popular with parents, also means firing teachers and staff). If DC really goes after residency fraud, it is almost certain that some schools would close because the overall capacity would be too large. [/quote]
