[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP indicated she will move if offered a spot.  She and her child will be DC residents.  No cheating involved.  [/quote]

If she moves to DC by enrollment of course it's fine.  Just skeptical they will REALLY do this.[/quote]

Define "fine"?  If they move to DC by enrollment it may be much less likely they'll be busted, but it's only "fine" if you see no problem in lying your way into consideration as a DC resident when you're not.  And I don't think you realize just how serious investigations into application inaccuracies is about to get.

And if, as you suspect, OP never really moves, then you're right, that is likely to get OP totally busted.[/quote]

Do you really think charters will bust students who are current DC residents b/c at the time they applied they were not?  Technically they lied on the application by using their future DC address but I seriously doubt they be booted as long as they are actual DC residents when they enrolled.[/quote]

To really break the cheating, PCSB knows they need to go to the root.  If you apply with your true non-DC addy, you are highly unlikely to get in.  Cheaters know that, even if they intend to move to DC after getting a spot, they are gaming the system by lying their way into the DC resident consideration when they are not residents.

PCSB knows that to really address this requires coming down hard on both those who never move to DC, as well as those who lie on their applications in order to look like DC residents for resident consideration.

Knowing how seriously this is being taken, me, I wouldn't risk lying.  If OP lies and uses her rental addy and that is somehow discovered, even after she moves to DC for enrollment, does she think saying "But someone on DCUM said it would be fine!" Is gonna keep her kid's spot?

Does the person who gets made an example ever anticipate being busted and made that example?[/quote]
