[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC Government Chooses Maryland Kids Over Tax-Paying Residents For School Slots

https://dailycaller.com/2016/07/10/dc-government-chooses-maryland-kids-over-tax-paying-residents-for-school-slots/

This just continues without any DC enforcement.  Maryland and Virginia tagged cars show up every day at our locals.

These parents appear to be ripping off taxpayers with the full knowledge and blessing of local education officials. This is a separate and in some ways more troubling phenomenon than the cheating in which Maryland residents lie about their addresses in order to steal slots at D.C. schools.

In 2015, 49 students from Maryland attended D.C. schools on a non-fraudulent basis, being open about where they lived, in exchange for D.C. charging them a combined $564,000 in tuition. But District officials collected less than half of that amount — $213,000 — according to a government audit.

The schools included Banneker, Basis Public Charter, Duke Ellington, School Without Walls High, Deal Middle, and Sela Public Charter.

Ellington has 525 students and 40 — nearly a tenth of the school — disclose they live in Maryland. Those students’ families owed a total of $463,200 in tuition, but local officials collected only $163,249, or 35 percent.

Are these families receiving bills in the mail and refusing to pay? Or is DC simply not requesting payment?[b] Because if it's the latter, then it's not the families' fault, is it?

My kids go to school in MCPS, so I have no dog in this fight, but I hope you're not hating on every license plate. Some of these people are [b]probably[/b] entirely above board.

Why would you invent some scenario that they're not getting a bill? So many freaks of natures on this board.[/quote]
