[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can DC possibly confine such blatant by residency cheaters?  And, really, so  what if it takes  Time, energy and effort to prove your residency?  It takes all of the other DC citizens time energy and effort to earn the money they are paying in taxes to provide  education to all of these non-DC children.   Parents who have their kids in the public school system receive an enormous benefit by having their children educated for free.  The idea that they might, in the seemingly worst case scenario, need to collect a bit of documentation, and even take a portion of a day off work, seems perfectly reasonable in terms of an investment in fraud protection.   Do people really think that everyone else should squander their hard earned money paying taxes toward something that is wholly unnecessary, paying for the schooling of non-DC kids,  because if they don't feel like getting their documentation in order and it showing up to register with their kid if necessary.  Are people really that entitled? [/quote]

I agree. My child got enrolled into Mann Elementary. I was asked to prove my DC residency using a pay stub which provided 2 pieces of information--my DC address and DC taxes being deducted from my check. I printed it off, and e-mailed it to the school administrator, in 1 minute. Consider how much could be saved if there was a 100% residency audit conducted in a similar manner. Those who had exceptions would be duly noted.[/quote]
