[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Better and more centralized residency verification, more enforcement for people who lie about living OOB or in DC at all, and better and more centralized record-keeping about who got in IB and who was OOB to help with the feeder school issue.[/quote]

Correct.  It’s DCPS not PGPS![/quote]

Run a data match of the DCPS and all city employees payroll addresses against the school enrollment addresses.  They've caught so many teachers this year, I think maybe they've done this already.[/quote]

This x100!  I think it should be a firing offense too.  They are going against ethical behavior and stealing from their employer by getting free services & goods for their family by providing false information to their employer. [/quote]

Absolutely agree. I work for the DC government and the number of people that live in MD and send kids to DC schools using a grandparent or aunt's address is astronomical. It's so ubiquitous that people just talk about it openly like it's nothing. I get the rationale (family has lived in the District for generations and are getting pushed out by gentrification, so they're still "DC people" even if they don't live in DC proper anymore), but it makes me SO MAD as someone who actually resides here and is competing against MD residents in the lottery every year. A lot of low income families are transient and move in and out of the District frequently, but just as many haven't lived in DC for years and don't ever plan on moving back.[/quote]
