[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what is frustrating for "new" residents (only 17 years) is that the regulations are sold as being loose so kids in troubled situations don't fall through the cracks. I think most of the people in this area are ok with that. The issue is when it is taken advantage of by people who could afford to live next door to me in CH but instead would rather have a large suburban house. When schools can't even get supplies to teach their at risk population, people should be appalled. [/quote]

100% agree. If this were really kids living w/ their grandmas even 25% of the time b/c mom/dad are housing insecure or the quarters are too crammed or someone has a substance issue or there is DV in the home... Then I'm totally fine w/ them using DCPS schools and not having to officially give grandma guardianship or prove that the kids lives there. When these are middle class families where 1 of the parents works for DC gov't and they live in PG b/c it's cheaper and the housing is roomier? Not OK. I can't afford to live in the school district I'd most like to either.[/quote]
