[quote=Anonymous]In addition to free PK, my impression is that the free or subsidized aftercare is part of the attraction. If you work in DC until 5 or 5:30, it's hard to get back to PG in time to do pick up by 6. It's much easier to make a 6pm deadline if your kids are in afterschool in DC. Moreover, vacations don't always coincide perfectly. If you work for DCPS and your child goes to school in PG, you may have slightly different breaks, and finding childcare for them can be a hassle.

A few years back, one of the people charged with fraud was the AP of a Capitol Hill School. She drove in from Maryland every day with her grandchildren. Her daughter (the children's mother) and grandchildren lived with her in Maryland. Her grandchildren went to the school where she worked and were in its free aftercare program. They rode home with her. My impression is that a lot of teachers and parents knew--but who wants to get in a fight with the AP?

In a lot of localities in the US, teachers are allowed to enroll their kids in the district where they work. DC doesn't allow this, but after the first wave of charges--mostly against DC employees--DC instituted a program where it somehow subsidizes home purchases in DC by teachers.[/quote]
