[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS is a DC agency - can't they check against the other databases instead of relying solely on what could be fraudulent pay stubs and other documentation?  They should have cross-agency access to TANF, SNAP, the DC Office of Tax, etc.  It seems like the verification information is already at their fingertips and that they could just work with the other agencies to get that information quite easily.

Exactly! There should be the auto-verify tract through the DC agencies (tax, social services, welfare, foster homes) and then a "complicated case" track for why someone does not show up in any of DC's government systems. [/quote]

A DC agency certainly can't get federal or state income tax information easily.  I'm no expert on the subject, but I know that tax payers have rights to confidentiality, other than where property tax payment goes, as do welfare recipients. Parents enrolling their children in DC public schools would have to consent to auto-verify scrutiny, which would open a big legal can of worms (you won't sign the auto-verify form so you can't enroll in our charter, oh no, I'll sue...etc.).
