They can and will read every comment - they are required by Federal law. They must summarize and respond to all comments when they publish the NPR. There will be another open comment period after the NPR is published.

Thanks for the post. One thing I noted in the accompanying memo -- it states multiple times that residency requirements in DC are similar to other nearby jurisdictions. But, looking at the comparison table in the memo, DC is the only jurisdiction that allows a paystub as the sole form of proof of residency. Looks like Fairfax is the only other locality that allows it, and only if accompanied by two other types of evidence. That might be a useful comment on the rule.

Email OSSE to say you can't make the hearing but you have comments. They won't do anything without comments from the public. No comments allows them to continue to ignore this issue.

Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

OSSE is proposing changes to the residency verification procedures --

increasing amount of records it audits each year, especially for PK3 adn PK4 (from 10% to 20%)
starting an option program to allow a parent to provide authorization to allow OSSE and the Dept of Taxation to share data so that parent wouldn't have to produce any documents to prove residency (your tax return would be used instead)
clarifying that both physical and legal residency is required to enroll in a school (e.g you can't live in MD and own another residence in the city)

and a few more changes - that's just what stuck in my mind.

what's ANPR?

OSSE clearly doesn't want to make public comment easy. Their compadres at DCPS practically gave more notice on the hare-brained "open container" rule.

It has been out since Sept 8th for public comment.
