Please point out where it says "boundary fraud" in the DC code. There's a whole chapter on Residency Requirement and Nonresident Tuition and residency fraud is specifically discussed in § 38–312.03. Surely if there's a whole chapter on residency requirements, and boundary fraud is also illegal, that phrase must come up somewhere?

In the section where it talks about penalties for false information, there's this part: "establishing by information and other evidence that a student or the student’s parent or primary caregiver is not in fact a District of Columbia resident or an other primary caregiver." Maybe there's another part about false information penalties for if the student is a resident but lives somewhere in a different boundary and I just missed it. You can check and see for yourself.  Or just find one single case where someone has been fined or imprisoned on the basis of this law since 2012, when it was last rewritten. That's typically what happens when something is illegal, right?[/quote]

Nice try. When you sign the form you attest to it’s truthfullness and acknowledge lying on the form is punishable by law. You also specifically attest that the domicile information is correct. And that you can be referred for prosecution if you lie. While this is not residency fraud per se, it is lying in connection to residency verification. Moreover you swear the forms are true under penalty of perjury.

Hopefully whatever sh*t law school you attended taught you that just because one law doesn’t apply to the conduct does not mean no laws apply [/quote]
