[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who works in a different DCPS school I'm surprised to see that an office is so far in processing their enrollment that they would get to this request.

+1. They’re not sending out investigators before the enrollment deadline. OP could be in Arizona still and legitimately enrolling. This is just a troll from the residency fraud brigade. [/quote]

This could very well be a troll, but I submitted my kid’s JR enrollment last week and got an email over the weekend about my address verification documents (I attached the wrong thing after doing this for a million years). They are very actively pursuing early enrollment this year, and a staff member is working on them.[/quote]

I had a similar thing happen with my enrollment (my pay stub file didn't upload fully)but what they did with both of us, it seems, is let us know we had something to correct.  They did not immediately go to scheduling a home visit.  That's why I think this is a troll.[/quote]

I don’t think it’s a troll.  I suspect OP is engaging in residency fraud and why they are scheduling a home visit. [/quote]

+1. We also got a residency check in PK for a school that virtually never has a waitlist (and for which we were not only IB but lived almost right next to the school). I assumed there were just spot checks in the system and our name came up so they sent someone.

When it happened, I was totally unbothered because why would I be? We were IB, the check took 5 minutes. If anything it confirmed they had received all our enrollment paperwork and I didn't have to follow up to make sure we were set for fall. I definitely didn't post on DCUM about it or consider suing the school district. It was nothing, not really much different than being asked to re-submit health forms or other random administrative stuff you sometimes have to do for DCPS.

OP might be a troll trying to stir up boundary fraud controversy, but I'm betting that they actually are not IB for JR and are running some kind of scam (using someone else's address, renting a studio they don't live in) and panicking because they are about to get caught. It is definitely not unheard of for DCPS to do residency visits, though I think they fell by the wayside during Covid. Perhaps they are ramping them back up again this year and it's scaring people who were convinced that DCPS doesn't care about boundary fraud (newsflash, of course they do, if it were rampant it would cause massive issues with overcrowding plus completely undermine the lottery).[/quote]
