[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are class action law suits based on state constitutional language requiring "adequate" education and the number of charter schools....but such language does not exist in D.C.

"Because Washington, D.C., is not a state, it uses the United States Constitution as its constitution. However,
there is no mention of public education in the United States Constitution. The District of Columbia Home Rule
Act most closely resembles a constitution, but there also is no mention of public education in the act. Therefore,
unlike all 50 of the states, there is no constitutional foundation for public education in Washington, D.C."[/quote]

The OSSE Web site says "DC law requires OSSE to investigate allegations of residency fraud.  Once an allegation of residency fraud is received, a full investigation is conducted, which can include an examination of submitted residency verification documents and surveillance by a private investigator."

I'm not a lawyer, but if OSSE is demonstrably not following existing law (requiring residency verification), is that not grounds for a lawsuit?[/quote]

OSSE doesn't care.
DCPS doesn't care.
The DC Council doesn't care.
The Mayor doesn't care.  [/quote]
