[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]

The problem is the DC DMV makes it pretty easy to get a license: You must provide 2 of the documents listed below to satisfy proof of current District of Columbia residency. DC DMV will NOT accept documents that are not listed below to satisfy proof of DC residency.

NOTE: Source documents (2 required) must be original AND contain a valid DC address (PO boxes not acceptable). Computer printouts of online bills are considered original.

Utility bill (water, gas, electric, oil, or cable), with name and address, issued within the last 60 days (disconnect notices/bills are not accepted)
Telephone bill (cell phone, wireless, or pager bills acceptable), reflecting applicant's name and current address, issued within the last 60 days (disconnect notices/bills are not accepted)
