[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Our elementary newsletter stated they are going to begin reviewing residency claims and verifying what is on file.  They indicated that there is a known problem of non-county children attending APS schoolsn(as well as in-county falsifying for particular schools). I know this is not the only (or even main problem) for overcrowding- but I am glad to see they are going to start taking this crap seriously.  [/quote]

Which elementary is that?
I also think they should look into this at every Arlington school, after I read one of the high school students talk about the 'large'? number of people commuting in from out of county.  As for in-county - hey, at least they are paying Arlington taxes - so in my eyes that's a different issue.[/quote]

This was in Arlington Science Focus' monthly newsletter (electronic folder).  If there are really that many non- county residents using our schools that is f-d up.  The paragraph stated that if you work in the county, but are not an AC resident your kid cannot attend APS. Really? People try this shit?  They also said they are checking all residency claims nd will assist residents in transfers to their correct schools (if they moved out of boundary, for instance).

I disagree about not caring about residents falsifying addresses for schools.  This could be the difference between my kid and a trailer. or-the difference between a team student being afforded a legitimate spot while they cheat their way in. They are taking resources from those of us that paid to be in-boundary.[/quote]
