[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is boundary fraud, not residency fraud. [/quote]

It is not clear that there is such a crime as 'boundary fraud.' In order for fraud to exist, someone has to be defrauded, they have to lose something of value. DCPS loses nothing of value when you enroll in a school other than the one you're entitled to. Your child is entitled to a DCPS education, and they are required to provide it. In order for them to argue that fraud has occurred they would have to argue that the value of a DCPS education in different schools is different. I don't think that's a path they want to go down in court. [/quote]

It's fraud because she'd be lying about her address on the paperwork.  When you sign the forms, you attest that "I completed this form and I certify that the
information above is accurate. I understand that providing false information for purposes of defrauding the government is punishable by law. By signing below, I acknowledge my agreement with any consents or opt-ins provided in this form."[/quote]
