[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know someone who rented an apartment near Woodson high school and used the rental lease to get the kids into Woodson high school then moved out of the Woodson boundary to a cheaper housing but still keep the kids in Woodson. Should this be reported? How to report this anonymously? Just thought this kind of abuse should be stopped but don't know how to report this. Will school take action if reported? Thanks![/quote]

hell yeah report it![/quote]

I teach at another FCPS high school, and I have had a couple of students who had to move mid-year because the school found out they were no longer in the boundary.  I am not sure how they found out, but they did.  That said, I am sure there are many more who the school doesn't know about - I have seen cars with Maryland tags dropping off students in the morning.  Yes, I know it could be a relative who legitimately lives in Maryland giving them a ride to school, but I know some people are taking advantage of the system.  [/quote]
These people may live in VA but have their cars registered in MD. I know people do this, but am not sure why. So there may be a violation, but not of school boundaries.[/quote]

[b]Car tax. MD cars don't pay it and VA cars pay $$$.

Yes, but property (i.e. home) taxes are much higher in MD than in VA so its a bit of a wash.[/quote][/quote][/quote]

Hey, The OP (and others) think it's their responsibility to police these things. So...you must report these scofflaws.

The people in VA that go to MD and buy things and fail to report the use tax really burn me up. Rules are rules. They. Must. Be. Reported.

Is this really a thing? Because you are saving oly a few dollars so I doubt people are going to avoid taxes? What are people not reporting that you are so upset about?[/quote]
