[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, couldn't read the whole thread, but is the person in this one for real?:
http://dailycaller.com/2016/07/07/maryland-parent-uses-dc-apartment-to-prove-residency-so-kids-attend-district-schools/

Or is she like the fictitious welfare queens? If she is real, why on earth would she talk to that "reporter"?! Boggling!

Incidentally, I came here to check the board because one of my neighbors mentioned that the Washington Post did an investigative series on residence fraud. I couldn't find anything on the wapo website easily. Did they mean this or did wapo do something too? If not they should. [/quote]

Washington Post and others have been reporting on this same problem for 20 years now.

A related questions for the citizen investigators here: Do some of the same non-resident families who use fake addresses to get their kids into DCPS also use fake addresses to collect DC TAG money for college?  https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/audit-of-dc-tag-tuition-assistance-program-shows-millions-of-dollars-unaccounted-for/2014/02/23/3ffcec58-9a7c-11e3-b88d-f36c07223d88_story.html  I could easily see someone using grandma's DC address to apply for TAG benefits for college.  Maybe a follow-up story for the Daily Caller crew?[/quote]
