[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kind of a silly idea, 12:35, to create a new layer of bureaucracy for a relatively unique situation more easily addressed by individual families being responsible for their choices.

...

Frankly, I'm surprised that some of you think this is even a question. [/quote]

The proposal, while it would address the unique situation described earlier, is really intended to address the fact there appears to be high demand for spots in DCPS schools from MD and VA residents.  Commuters want to enroll their younger kids in DCPS in order to have them near during the work day.  Parents in multi-generational families want to enroll their kids in DCPS near grandma's house to take advantage for free before- and after-care.  etc.

The idea is not without precedent.  Just think of it as a voucher program where the vouchers must be used at other public schools.

Consider this:  Who really benefits most when a MD resident fraudulently registers at a DCPS school?  I would argue that it is the state of MD, which gets of out of spending 10K - 15K to educate one of its children.[/quote]
