This would not have any effects. people are cheating and they know it, they do it because it is convenient for them and make them save $$$$ (free preK3, free Prek4, free aftercare).  if the penalty is having to unenroll if caught, nobody would care. the chance of being caught is little, and the consequence is simply having to leave the school, which would be the same if they situation if they do not enroll at all. the real deal would be if somebody is caught, then is forced to pay back tuition for all the years the child, and possibly the siblings, have been in DCPS.  force them to pay, even if it takes years of payments. I understand this does not happen, the few cheaters who are caught are simply made leave the school, so the others learn that there is no downside to cheating. [/quote]

There are situations where residency cheaters have to pay back: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/police-officers-allegedly-enrolled-their-children-in-city-schools-illegally/2015/06/11/896eb078-106a-11e5-a0dc-2b6f404ff5cf_story.html

The question is why is this done sporadically and what can we do to make sure that all residency cheaters pay back what they have stolen?[/quote]
