[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading comprehension. Nobody came here "playing CSI." OP posted about her fraudulent/unethical scheme. [/quote] Oh, yeah. That's quite a fraudulent/unethical scheme: paying income tax to DC, and her fair share of property tax for not one but two homes in different parts of town. A regular Al Capone this one. The single factor, in your mind, which determines whether she is an upstanding citizen or some sort of subhuman scum, is which of her two homes her child spends the night in. I can imagine you spying through her bedroom window every night and relaying your findings to exhausted fraud tipline workers trying to focus their limited enforcement resources on out-of-state residency fraud that drains our public school budget without contributing to our tax base.[/quote] +100. I'd like to see DCPS hit back much harder at the financial fraud crowd, and the leave the others alone. When schools get crowded, plan ahead to add classroom trailers, build more school additions and even open more schools (rather than handing solid old school buildings off to condo developers). Close unpopular schools and auction the buildings off, or rent them out, to fund expansions of wildly popular schools. Provide parents with more incentives to use schools that aren't wildly popular, like attractive programming (including GT programming) and free or dirt cheap after care. Truth is, DCPS owns a good deal of dramatically under-utilized real estate.[/quote]
