[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article makes it sound like some schools, including Excel Academy, aren't requiring parents to offer proof of residency. It should be easy for OSSE to crack down on that.

It seems more complicated to catch people who live in MD but actually can show "proof" of DC residence. I mean, someone who lives in MD but keeps a valid DC driver's license AND either a utility bill or car registration at the DC residence on their driver's license. Seems like it would be hard to do this for years on end unless you are renting out your old residence in DC (so you might well keep, say, the water bill in your name) or have a relative/close friend living in your former DC residence.

That's a good idea! Thanks![/quote]

There's a simple determination:  what's your primary residence for income tax purposes?  Anyone who claims DC residency should be able to clear up questions quite quickly by reference to the address that they report to their employer for payroll tax withholding.[/quote]

yes  +1

If unemployed then unemployment paperwork.  If on SNAP or TANF then that paperwork. [/quote]
