[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the 20 millionth time picking up a child in car in a car with MD or Virginia tags is not definitive proof of anything. Maybe we should have a law that says only custodial parents can pick up their children.

In individual cases, this may be true.  But a large number of MD cars, for example, picking up and dropping off, suggests that there is some amount of residency fraud going on.  It's interesting, for example, that schools where you would expect to see high levels of nannies picking up children in their own vehicles [b](e.g., Janney, Mann)[/b] actually have relatively low anecdotal numbers of MD plated vehicles dropping or retrieving students.  Other schools, [b]particularly those who draw their students from around the city (where it may be easier for a fraudster to fly below the radar because the school-neighborhood identity isn't as strong)[/b] have higher numbers of out of state cars.[/quote]

84% of kids at Mann are in-bounds. At Amidon, it's 82%. Not a huge difference. [/quote]

Some school communities are very diligent in ferreting out and reporting fraud.  Fraudster families don't last very long at Janney, for example.[/quote]

I'm not so sure.

According to the OSSE June 2015 report posted above, in SY 2014-15 OSSE received 88 reports of possible residency fraud; 70 for charters and 12 for all of DCPS.

The year before the total number of reports was 38.
