[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recommend perusing the DCPS website or giving them a call to find out for certain. You never know. There could be some loophole many don't know about. I doubt a person doing this illegally would speak openly about it, claiming that it's all above board. Everyone knows residency fraud is a real thing in DC, and there have been articles about families being sued because of it. Anyone (knowingly) doing it does so in a hush-hush manner.[/quote]

This was my thought.  I was surprised to hear her say she did this, and she's not a cheat the system kind of person.  She implied that it happens across the city, so I wonder if it is a small loophole or[b] "unofficial" loophole that DCPS turns a blind eye to[/b].  Just curious if others had heard of such a thing.  I don't actually think it's a terrible thing to give DC government employees (who actually are DC residents of course) this kind of perk for government service, especially if it's just limited to the school in-bounds to their office.[/quote]

You get very bad behavior with rules like this.  I am making this up - but I have seen examples like I am presenting with my work:
Every police officer gets a transfer to the Idaho Ave location when they have a child entering PreK (IB for Eaton)  OR when their child is entering 9th grade
Every EMS, Fire Department employee gets stationed near a desirable school for a period of time

It is very difficult to administer the plan - what happens when the parent gets transferred?  Quits?

Are you high?  "Unofficial loophole" is another way of saying "cheating" "graft" "corruption" and all the other words that make DC such a laughingstock.[/quote]
