This isn't an off the wall suggestion.  What DCPS should do is use one of those cars equiped with license plate scanners to scan license plates at drop off.  That can easly produce a list of the registered owners.  Look at the list for out of state addresses for parents of kids in the school and then follow up case-by-case.  Some cases will be legit.  A previous poster mentioned that military families on active duty, for example, don't have to re-register their vehicles in DC.  Other cases may be a caregiver or a grandparent.  But it will allow the schools to ferret out the fraudsters.[/quote]

Is it any harder to fraudulently register a vehicle than it is to fraudulently register for school? I registered a car a couple of months ago and I didn't have to show any proof of residence, whereas for DCPS I have to show two forms of proof, and I have to re-verify every year.  It seems that the benefits of going to the school of your choice are much greater than the benefits of picking your jurisdiction for car registration, and that people would just move their car registration if this sort of verification became routine.[/quote]
