[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're going to do it, I wouldn't worry about your conscience, I'd worry about the possibility of an investigation with a home visit by your school's registrar.  With OSSE cracking down, if you come under investigation, you're going to need to produce a stack of residency documents at a few days notice (including certified tax returns) and possibly to clear a home visit by your school's registrar.  They're going to want to see your kid(s) stuff in the place, and a bed for the child(ren).  If you're on top of things, you'll manage.  If can produce the docs, and the apartment has some of your kids stuff in it, family pictures etc., DCPS will be satisfied. Takes work.[/quote]

It takes a criminal mind to go to this effort to cheat at the expense of other taxpayers

This is why Janney, Murch, Lafayette, Deal, and Wilson are far more crowded than their census boundary projections. A one bedroom apartment will not project a 3-child yield, but that's what you might get thanks to system-gamers. As a result, the city is confused by the overcrowding because it doesn't match the zoned/building projection. Then the family that bought a SFH on the edge of the crowded boundary finds itself redistricted to a different school due to crowding, thanks to the family that lives across town and uses the address of a studio apartment to enroll their 4 children and the classrooms are crowded because more than the projected number of IB students enroll. Ditto for families using someone else's address.

You are cheating another taxpayer out of the school they believed they invested in, and you are cheating your child's classmates out of a reasonably sized class.[/quote]
