[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm guessing, though, that there's a law against using tax data for any non-tax purpose.[/quote]

Also, they're actually getting at that be requiring the enrolling family to submit a paystub on which withheld DC taxes are indicated. Not saying that's less time consuming than a little data mining but it's covered in the process. And so is the submission of residency-related documentation for welfare recipients someone else mentioned. The rules aren't the problem. Their enforcement is and the fact that there are ways to associate such data with a student who actually really doesn't live in DC and the fact that it's, at the end of the day, more expensive to catch those harder to spot cases and to just accept some deadweight loss here.
But the low-hanging fruit, stemming from poor enforcement at the school's front desk or from incentives to boost enrollments and look the other way, should be gone after and I trust a third party to do that better.

To the PP who mentioned that a VA license plate was flagged but then not investigated because you were just using a rental car and truly do live in DC, I'd actually say that may be a proof the system is working. License plates are a decent flag but by no means are they a valid indicator of residency. They hopefully went into your files and looked at the residency requirements you submitted and decided there is indeed no problem.[/quote]
