[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS schools do residency checks each year. We send letters to our families that need to be returned. If the letters “bounce” or are not returned, we know there is something fishy.

Many parents who do this are gaming the system. They own property (a cheap condo or something) in the boundary of the school they want and rent it out. When investigated, they are easily able to produce a mortgage statement. Following up on each of these requires detective work (i.e. following a family home each day) and effectively ruins the relationship with a school and the family. It would need to be an external group with a lot of time and funding. [/quote]

I have never received such a letter.[/quote]

Neither have we. [/quote]

You have. But it didn’t say “this is a residency check.” It would have been a letter that looked like any other letter from the school. If it gets returned the school notices. But what do they do next? That’s usually up to the school and how much they want to pursue it.

Also, the bar is very low when it comes to what documents are accepted for registering a new kid in fcps.

I fully support residency checks for all schools, but how exactly? Most of the suggestions thrown out on here are just completely unrealistic. [/quote]
