[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Residency fraud is a huge problem in DC schools, and anyone who says otherwise has his head in the sand. It's a shame that the race-baiting Daily Caller is the outlet that decided to take this on. I am all in favor of cracking down on cheaters, but these articles are really gross.[/quote] Disagree, and we've been in DCPS schools for a long time. Residency fraud isn't a huge problem - that's an urban myth. Arguably, it's not a problem at all. We know a number of "cheaters" (mostly AA or mixed race) who make four-figure PTA contributions per child per year. THey knock themselves out to help schools struggling to retain high SES neighborhood families in the upper grades. But widespread use of DC schools by MD residents who don't pay DC taxes or live in the District is a real problem. Good for the Daily Caller for calling attention to it. Wish OSSE was given far more resources and incentives to go at them, hard. [/quote]
