[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Seriously, I would LOVE to know how serious a problem it is.  And having endless anonymous people posting on here "it's a big problem! I see plates all the time!" is not a serious answer to "is this a big problem?"  Is it a problem at the early childhood level?  At charters?  At High school?  When and where?  Is it counterbalanced by the cheaters from DC to go to MD/VA schools?

What is the scope of this problem?  I am sick to death of venomous posts on this forum bitching about, let's face it, African American cheaters.  It reeks of racism and classism and there is never any hard evidence and it's all just so pointless.

POINTLESS.  It is pointless to bitch on here about big SUVs from MD invading DC.  Maybe it makes you feel better.  But other than that it's pointless.  Organize and demand some real answers.  Send complaints to your school.  Use this forum to do something - anything - other than offer the well I know someone who knows someone pointless anecdotes.  [/quote]

OSSE was supposed to set up a false information hotline as of the May 2012 law. Chapter 3. Residency Requirement and Nonresident Tuition http://weblinks.westlaw.com/result/default.aspx?cite=UUID%28NDC4C708097-D911E1A6CD8-C749BFBCA5E%29&db=1000869&findtype=VQ&fn=_top&pbc=DA010192&rlt=CLID_FQRLT58555315416298&rp=%2FSearch%2Fdefault%2Ewl&rs=WEBL12%2E07&service=Find&spa=dcc-1000&sr=TC&vr=2%2E0

The head of OSSE, the Deputy Mayor for Education, and the Office of the Attorney General should be the ones to give "real answers".

The scope of the problem from OSSE audit can be found here. http://osse.dc.gov/release/osse-moves-forward-non-resident-enforcement

Non-resident students who did NOT pay tuition (and % makeup of total enrollment)
DCPS 126 (0.3%)

Non-Public 118 (6.9%)
Total 276 (0.35%)

[u]Proving [/u]that parents or admin [u]knowingly[/u] provided false information is tough. Witnesses would have to be willing to go on the record. The best bet for compliance is for principal's to have honest conversations with parents and to put up the required signs. Parents shouldn't have to rat each other out.[/quote]
