Ugh.

Translation:
We know there is fraud, but it's hard and takes work to ferret out and honestly, we don't really care very much.[/quote]

More like, if we ferret out the fraud we'd have to admit that

a) DC school population is NOT growing 
b) we'd have to close schools 
c) charter operators would be able to lease the schools and siphon more students away from DCPS[/quote]

What makes you think some of the residency fraud committed is not occurring as much if not MORE at charters?  OSSE covers both.  This isn't a DCPS issue, it's a public education issue.[/quote]

I do think it happens at charters.  But it would be harder to do.  For a neighborhood school all you need is an address that convinces the registrar.  For a charter, you would need that AND a good lottery number or someone willing to sneak you in.  That's harder to do.[/quote]

Huh? No it's not. You just play the lottery like everyone else. And produce the same docs you would for DCPS. [/quote]
