[quote=Anonymous]It’s tough. There are cases where this impacts families directly. Our IB doesn’t have nearly enough slots for ECE demand. PK3 and PK4 are only guaranteed if you are IB with an older sibling, and some years even those numbers get tight. We’ve had IB friends not get into the school until K because of it. Meanwhile we know of a kiddo that did get a spot for ECE, likely thanks to older siblings at the school, and they are all using grandma’s IB address. There’s a few others in the rising PK4 cohort we suspect are doing the same, including at least one who likely resides in MD. So, yes, boundary fraud can have an impact on the community with the trickle down effect. If the school verifies the address though, not sure what to do beyond it.

But in this case, I don’t think this JR student is actually impacting anyone else. If they’re a DC resident and have been there for a couple of years as you say, it may be annoying that the family is flaunting gaming the system but you’d just be hurting the kid with a campaign to get them expelled. I’m sure if they were a truly problematic student, the school would latch onto a reason to remove them. If that’s not the case, despite my own frustrations with boundary/residency fraud, I think you let this go and accept it’s one of the imperfections of a big public school district with a lottery system.
