..."In a radio interview Friday on the Kojo Nnamdi Show on WAMU-88.5(FM), Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) suggested the problems at Ellington did not reflect broader issues in the school system. She said Ellington is 'a complete outlier' because of the scope of its residency fraud.

'It’s going to be corrected immediately,' she said. 'We will finish out this school year and we will work with the attorney general on the disposition of those files.'

The findings threaten a large segment of the school’s families with expensive litigation and potentially substantial fines. ..."
