[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you cheater-haters want the OSSE rules on residency to read "the student gets thrown out of his or her public school immediately if it's determined that s/he hasn't slept at the address provided at least 50% of the nights in the last calendar year," why not campaign for that, make it happen?

I don't see a rule anything like that in any of the OSSE docs on residency, at least the ones on their web pages. Slamming parents who aren't breaking the current rules on thread after thread seems like a waste of time.

Here are the full regulations as updated in March 2017 - they are lengthier than what OSSE puts on its website.

They set forth how residency is established in all sorts of scenarios including divorced, separated parents or never married parents, wards of the state, undocumented students and homeless students.

They are silent on the DC boundary rules -- only about proving DC residency.

Right -- but the forms submitted to the school for residency verification would have the fake address on them, right? That's the problem at the DC-level.  At the school level, I assume that principals have control over this, and that they would not take kindly to being lied to.  [/quote]

I don't know if the principals care, beyond the fact that it would probably create more work for them. It's on principals and DCPS to enforce DCPS boundary cheating -- not OSSE.
