[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  Report them for residency violation.  [/quote]

How is this a residency violation if someone tells the principal, I live in SE, but work a block away, and the principal enrolls them?  It's not like they're pretending to live in-bounds?[/quote]

Because OOB seats have to be distributed via the lottery. [/quote]

But what if they were low on the waitlist, and they were bumped up?  Not being argumentative, I'm just trying to understand the story I heard from a DC employee who said she did this and it was totally above board.[/quote]

Because there are some specific preferences:  sibling, IB, parent/staff, OOB with proximity.  There is no "my mommy works nearby" preference.[/quote]

You must be new here, because you don't really "get DC."[/quote]

I've lived here for 20 years.  I "get DC."  Is it a town with a long history of graft and corruption among municipal employees?  Hell, yes!  The Barry work-ethic lives on!  The Barry honesty lives on!

That's the whole point.  There is no LEGAL "my mommy works nearby" preference.  But who cares?  Not long-time DC residents.  They're entitled to anything they can imagine and spread a rumor about.

Does some foolish, entitled woman in DC Government believe there is?  Probably so.  Incidentally, that's why I'm glad I voted against DC Statehood (an occurrence which would never take place no matter whom was elected President, because it would require the majority rule of both Houses of Congress.  Obama shot that wad).  Too many residents are too stupid and corrupt to be allowed to influence U.S. policy.

Vote to exempt us from federal taxes, instead.[/quote]
