Lol. NP but this is ridiculous. This is OP's business. If people from outside the city are committing residency fraud to take spots in her IB school, and her children are unable to attend as a result, that is 100% her business. Don't be obtuse.

OP, I have mixed feelings about this because I do think some percentage of the cars with Maryland tags doing drop off are not residency fraud -- it's kids from divorced homes where one parent lives in PG county, or a grandparent or other caretaker who lives in Maryland doing drop off to help parents with challenging commutes or work schedules. So I don't like assuming that just because I see one kid get out of a car with Maryland tags, that family is committing fraud.

But yes, the [b]sheer volume is concerning to me[/b]. I don't think you can explain away dozens of cars with Maryland tags doing drop off with these explanations. Schools in DC are so challenging as is, and stuff like this erodes faith in the system and sows distrust among school communities. [/quote]
If it is grandparent / babysitter / divorce - wouldn't you see similar patterns at other elementary schools?   Why would it be centralized to Maury vs the neighboring elementary schools?   What is unique there[/quote]

How often are you observing drop off patterns at other schools? Maybe what’s unique is Maury parents are privileged enough to have extra time in their day to monitor license plates? Not how I would spend extra time, but I’m over here slumming it at my school. [/quote]

I’m not a Maury parent but we walk to drop off and that means walking past the long line of cars doing drop off as we do. It does take time or energy to notice that more than half the cars doing drop off have Maryland plates. They are right there.

Guess I just go to a school where half the kids have a parent or nanny who lives in MD. Weird![/quote]
