[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys keep bitching about this residency fraud. Obviously OSSE has better things to do then follow up on this issue. DC schools are flush with money, so trying to consistently chase mostly middle to low income, mostly minority parents is not worth it economically. I recall seeing an internal report that notes that pursing these offenders generally costs more than what they would even collect in penalties/taxes, if they even collect it at all.

Shit, you have DC employees themselves doing it. Is it fair to young white families that now occupy various quadrants of DC? No. But its also unfair that living in the city that the city has become unaffordable for many, and many have been displaced by greedy landlords and developers. Is it legal, no. But life is not fair. So get over it.

Since many of you seem like go getters, maybe you could create your own residency fraud parent task force. Then you could gather evidence and put together your own cases to present to the city. That would be a great use of your time instead of wasting your energy posting the same shit on multiple threads.

Actually, NOT this. People who commute from MD for DC jobs who are stealing pre-K spots from DC residents overwhelming are NOT low income but are relatively affluent by every definition and just want to use DC's full day preK to save cash for conveniences like summer vacations.

BTW, summer school is also free and available to all DCPS students -- so that's also free summer camp for those who commit residency fraud .

AS for cost, DCPS has the biggest funding of any school system in the nation. DCPS can afford to police itself.[/quote]

Not to mention that DCPS is now crying that the cupboard is bare and cutting funding for the Fillmore arts center, the Murch renovation, etc.  [b] I hate to sound like a GOP candidate,[/b] but when it comes to DC, there is money to be saved/repurposed by cutting out blatant waste, fraud and abuse.[/quote]

Maybe that's your problem.  You hate to sound like someone taking responsibility for not spending more money than they have.  Socialism only works until you run out of other people's money.[/quote]
