[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s no reason DC couldn’t adopt the residency rules that other states use that require a child to be primarily domiciled in the jurisdiction in order to attend school there. [/quote]

Because then they'd have to admit that despite everything[b] the population of DC children has not grown[/b], except in the pre-k arena early years. In my street in DC due to gentrification all the families have moved out and single people have moved in, the section 8 apartment buildings are now condos and there are only a handful of children on my street and they are toddlers. [/quote]

This is mostly what the city wants. It's very obvious from the policy decisions pushed. [/quote]

Not sure this is true. See here:

"Since 2011, the number of children began to grow, and in the last four years, the child population has grown at a faster rate than the adult population."[/quote]

Different parts of the city different things are going on The population dynamics across neighborhoods provide yet another picture of gentrification and where we are most likely to find it.  The city’s most expensive neighborhoods (when it comes to housing) are holding on to the school-age children but are not able to add young families. While east of the river continues to have the highest concentration of children, if trends continue, neighborhoods near the 16th Street and Georgia Avenue corridors could claim this distinction soon. Neighborhoods east of the river are adding younger children, but rapidly losing school-age children, and on the net losing families.

Also where are they getting the data from, if we are looking at school records we know they are fraudulent, are we looking at birth records? Most of the Latino population of Adams Morgan and Mount Pleasant have been priced out, have you been to that area recently. Although CHEC is full, I'm not sure if all the students are living in that area it's becoming very pricy to live there. [/quote]
