[quote=Anonymous]I agree, but there are obvious, and large, practical limitations on how much residency verification could be done centrally,even if vast new resources were committed (and they won't be). Parents, especially poor parents, aren't in a great position to troop to a central location with registration documents, and the central office doesn't have anywhere near the staff to send registration/residency verification teams out to every school during the one-month charter registration window. With DCPS schools, families mostly register in the spring, but new entrants can of course turn up at any time to register during the summer or school year. If registration were done on-line, documents couldn't be certified they way they are in person. Requiring DCPS parents registering kids to bring documents to a central location year round for certification would burden at-risk DC families at the expense of kids, and a be a big pain for everybody else.[/quote]
