[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's "surprising" how many cars with Maryland plates are dropping kids off in the morning at some FCPS.  I venture to say, not all these people with Maryland registered cars are simply avoiding paying a car tax.[/quote]

I’ve seen MD plates dropping kids off at the bus stop as well.

I support residency checks, but they should be done In conjunction with the boundary review. One can walk and chew gum at the same time. [/quote]

What does a residency check entail?   Actually sending someone to knock on doors and demand to see the kid's bedroom and toothbrush?  For EVERY single student in FCPS?[/quote]

There are plenty of schools in the US what do residency checks. I'm sure we could figure out some tactics for doing that from them. Such as, [b]bringing a valid lease and utilities statement to the school before the start of the school year[/b] to prove that you live in district? I would 100 percent support this before we get any further along in this boundary process. After the Hayfield disaster, it's the least FCPS should be doing.[/quote]

You already have to do that when you register at a school. I guess this would catch people who move out of a school district. [/quote]

But you only have to do it once. At a minimum, FCPS should recheck residency with each school move (into middle school, into high school). [/quote]

The data and tools exist.  We could have an 85% data solution between county property records, fairfax water customer data, dominion energy data).  I'm sure there's a tool that can pull name information from uploaded leases.  Point is we have the technology, but it would be inconvenient to FCPS because it would mean less upside for budget increases to have people admiring the problem. [/quote]
