[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS is never going to have more than one investigator. Since the WaPo has done this breaking story they might hire 2 more people. However, more bodies in DCPS seats equal growth and more money for each student received from the federal gov. Many of the SE schools in Wards 7 & 8 are filled with PG residents but the administrators and Central office look the other way. These students get free lunch, free before/after care and SPED services. I knew of a family with 4 children enrolled in a school (Turner ES) to be exact and the mother lived in PG county. The mother was using the grandmother's address. The mother then also received social security checks for her children's ADHD disability and SPED services. [/quote]

Yes this happens so much at my school. Although I’ve said this here before and no one believed me. [/quote]

Same thing at my EOTR school. I would estimate between 25 and 49% of my students live in PG County. They aren’t even discrete about it- they use their grandparent or another relative’s address for residency purposes.[/quote]

Are PG schools really that bad?[/quote]

Not all of them. But for early childhood / elementary DCPS is certainly the same, and in fact better. There is no PK3 or PK4 at all in Prince George's; if you're in a Title 1 DC school before and aftercare is also free. If you live in Prince George's and work in DC and go to a school along your commute it's also pretty convenient.
