[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, I read through their attachment and it doesn't seem to improve anything.

1) There doesn't seem to be any added incentive for schools to catch cheaters - and no punitive measures taken if they don't.

2) The proof of residency verification is still WAY too light. There should be a requirement of a utility bill and a pay stub and, frankly, a DC license. [/quote]

Okay, can agree with the utility bill and even other requirements. You are not getting an address on a pay stub from a federal government worker and many private companies. I drive and have a license, but do you have any idea how many people in this city refuse or do not know how to drive, and thus do not own a DL?  And with Uber and the red bicycles everywhere, yuck, that number is only growing.  [/quote]

They should require a DC DL or a DC ID card (issued by the DC government).  Parents should be required to produce one or the other as proof of residency.  In addition to the DL or ID, parents should be required to produce 2 utility bills.  [/quote]

I'm sure there are quite a lot of parents in D.C. schools who have neither a driver's license or another District-issued ID card (as well as some who have no way of obtaining them, as they aren't legal residents of the country). How do you plan to avoid imposing unfair burdens on them? And what about parents whose utilities are entirely paid by their landlords? They don't have any bills to show, much less two. [/quote]
