[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's time to take this away from OSSE to investigate and hand it off to the feds and the US attorney to investigate and prosecute residency fraud.  Some very public indictments for fraud and theft and services and civil suits for past due tuition should have at least some deterrent effect.[/quote]

Um,. residency fraud is not within the parameters of the feds.  :oops: :idea: [/quote]

NP: Using a false address to commit a fraud and receiving US mail at that address in furtherance of the crime (DCPS/PCS do mail information including report cards to parents at the address of record), fraud across state lines, false claim of entitlement to federal funds, grants, etc. etc. Plenty of avenues to federal jurisdiction, if they chose to exercise it. And depending on how many people are in cahoots on a scheme, you might even be venturing into RICO territory.

Let's say the child enrolls in home boundary school -- those Title I funds would just be allocated to MD and not DC.  It's the District that's really on the hook for the student allocation, not the Feds.  I would seriously hope the Federal government goes after bigger fish than this.[/quote]
