[quote=Anonymous]Not only is residency fraud affecting what taxpayers subsidize, it’s affecting how we build schools and allocate resources. Wards 7 and 8 have a lot of charter schools. I’ve worked in some of those schools as an outside contractor providing student services. At morning drop-off, so many of the car license plates are from MD. The children will tell you they live in MD too. New schools keep getting charters to build EotR because charter enrollment is crazy, but the counts don’t accurately reflect DC students. I feel for these kids and their families. However, DC can’t fix PG’s problems and MD’s underinvestment in schools. (Where’d all that gambling $ go?) If Maryland would like to come up with a cooperative funding agreement with the city and a way to bring these families into the light so that we can better predict long-term enrollment trends, that might be a fair compromise.[/quote]
