[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Explain to me why the person living in petworth would be cheating if they were attending Janey OOB?  Are you paying a special fee to allow your child to go to Janney if you are living IB?  [/quote]

I think PP confuses two different but equally contentious issues. Non DC residents attending DC schools (public and charter) and residency verification to determine school boundary status. But the discussion here revolves around the out of state problem. I imagine the audit doing both (i.e. looking at the DC tax withheld line on the pay stub as well as at the address). 
I concur that this is not something the school itself can be trusted with. With or without ill will, actual verification is just not a priority for them. I've seen our otherwise wonderfully run school start to worry about in state/out of state matters only when a student is a burden in many other ways (attendance, achievement, discipline) and can't blame them for it knowing what there is otherwise nothing in it for them to get rid of a student.[/quote]
