Can they counter sue for residency fraud when they don't enforce it against anyone else? Seems like that would bolster the discrimination claims and require a larger settlement.


Well, you'd have to prove they were discriminated against top begin with.


In Arlington? There's a reason Fairfax asked for $10M over cotton balls. Testimony is proof in certain areas like Arlington. I sure wouldn't want to explain to those jurors that a black child didn't actually feel discrimination from a cotton game.

They have gotten much stricter about it. I don't remember the timeline but I am almost positive they either planned to enforce it more heavily or already did enforce it more heavily by the time this happens. The big "enforcing" year for middle school is 6th so they would have missed him but enforcement is definitely on APS's radar now and I think a claim of unfair targeting wouldn't fly.

I admit I don't see APS suing for back tuition. It doesn't seem like their style.


I don’t see them suing for it either, but I can absolutely see them threatening to do so to give them leverage in settlement negotiations. It’s just how these things work.

APS undoubtedly paid a huge settlement.

It's a misdemeanor in VA to lie about your address for attendance

Good for the family. So I assume it all worked out in the end.


Are you asking if they got a payout – no that’s not what I’m saying at all. They finally stopped using their aunts address and got their own apartment.

I’m curious if they are still an APS family after 8th grade residency verification

Remember when the NAACP made a big fuss, the parent and student went to the media, and Justin Fairfax (AKA the “Ben Crump on NoVa”) demanded a $10 million settlement and threatened legal action? Has the media ever followed up to find out what happened?
