[quote=Anonymous]^ I'm not sure this will really solve the problem, and I'm not sure it is a problem that will ever be solved.  I know of two affluent families who have rented their homes on the hill and moved out to VA and are currently taking seats in two of the hills top early childhood programs using those rented addresses, and I have a hard time believing the teachers/principal don't realize that.  I also know of kids who I am next to certain (but have no proof) are taking spots at coveted schools even though they live OOB because mommy or grandma work at said school and Mr. Principal has allowed it.  It's really akin to a principal managing a wait list... They're going to pick and choose if they can, and whether or not they live in DC will doubtfully change that.

These are not the classic "mark grandma's address down" scenarios, but I use them as examples of just how hard it is to track residency when we're talking about our tiny geographic area, which is planted in the middle of two other huge states with parents commuting in every day and umpteen ways to game the system.
