[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Perhaps a good first step for FCPS before even entertaining rezoning or building additions would be to require all students to confirm their residency before they can register for classes.[/b]

I could be wrong, but I suspect there are many kids attending the over enrolled schools who do not actually live within the school zone.

Requiring a current utility bill every year at registration might fix the enrollment at schools in the 2-7% over capacity. [/quote]

I'm a FCPS HS teacher. And a parent of a kid in a DC charter school. For my kid's enrollment, I have to prove residency EVERY year.

My students don't. And there are LOADS of them who cheat on residency to be in a "better" school. I don't get why FCPS doesn't verify every year.[/quote]

Because your kid is in a charter and the parents have to apply in the first place so they will fill out a form every year to keep their spot. They were savvy and together enough to fill out the charter application in the first place.   FCPS would have kids who never enroll because it is an actual public school that has to take everyone, so it would waste TONS of manpower and time not to mention months of a child’s education while the kids who really NEED to be in school aren’t enrolled.

Not really.

The kids would just need to go to their assigned school.

Usually it is kids who live in adjacent zone using someone else's address, grandma's address, or a former rental after they bought a much nicer house in an adjacent lower performing school.

Having to present a current utility bill to register just makes sense for the schools who are above capacity.[/quote]
