Agreed.  And the scope of the issue is also completely blown up.  This is "Cadillac Welfare Mom" redux (except with an Escalade!)  While cheating isn't good, there's no evidence that it is some kind of systematic fraud making any sort of meaningful impact on DCPS.  This just seems to be a perfect storm of white parents obsessed with being "shut out" from their PK3, and a "news" organization pushing an ideological agenda that is very happy to bash DC and black people in general.

Scope blown up?  Really?  You may not like the Daily Caller, but you are being disingenuous if you pretend this isn't a substantial problem. [/quote]

There's no evidence that this is a "substantial problem"!!  That's the whole point ... [/quote]

From a 2012 article:
http://dcist.com/2012/05/dc_looks_into_non-residents_who_att.php

That, of course, got us to thinking—how many non-residents actually send their kids to D.C. public schools?
Not many, it seems. According to an audit performed by the D.C. Office of the State Superintendent for Education, of the 45,191 students in D.C. public schools, only 198 are non-residents. Of the 31,562 students enrolled in public charter schools, 38 were from outside D.C.
Still, the interesting issue seems to be that many of those non-resident students just don't pay what they owe. The audit found that 126 of the 198 non-resident students in DCPS avoided paying their way; in charter schools, it was 32 of the 38.[/quote]
