[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But schools already do that! Each year you have to prove residency. This extra scrutiny is what can make people's lives hellish.

Can we get some testimony from a person here who is a legal District resident who has had a "hellish" experience with the extra scrutiny? No?[/quote]

You haven't given a logical reason for the extra scrutiny, though. If schools have controls in place to prevent this, why take it upon yourself to do this--even though your kid maybe in at that school.

I'm not condoning cheaters, but what's your reason for being a 'bounty hunter'?  Schools already require people to prove residency, and if they are found in breach, are charged accordingly. Your time could be better spent, IMHO, fund raising and building up the school community.

No bounty hunting needed. If anyone suspects that a child does not reside in DC, they can report it via the hotline or the form. DCPS and DCPCSB have contracted with investigators who do the legwork. If everything's legit, no worries.

We are talking about [b]people who have proven "residency" via the approved paperwork, but who are not actually residents[/b]. This is where the investigations happen; just because parents passed the screening in August doesn't mean they're not subject to investigation if there is reason to believe that they haven't been truthful.[/quote]

1. How do you, frankly, suspect someone is cheating without invading their privacy or breaking the law?
2. Could you be prone to suspicion, too, if someone notices that you take your child across district lines a few evenings?
3. How many of these investigations lead to an actual fraud? I suspect it's mostly a waste of time and money. 
3. How is your statement in bold even possible? hmm?

Your arguments for additional scrutiny don't hold water.[/quote]
