I mean really is DC enrollment even growing, who the hell knows... if you removed all the MD and VA kids what is the actual population at DCPS? This is getting ridiculous ... No wonder the Chancellor did what he did, it all makes sense now. Kaya probably advised him. IT's a mockery ...

Not surprised. I said in another thread, most of the residency cheaters I know are employed or have family employed by DC gov.

Nobody cares when the population is older and the school system is just awful. But when the population shifts and there are young families with real in-depth questions, it all changes. Those wait list are about to open up.

No. The teacher home visiting program has nothing to do with residency confirmation. It is to ease the transition and develop rapport between parent and teacher.

My old neighbor bypassed the lottery and called in a favor so her dc could go to Murch. She painted it as a benefit given to city employees. Lol!

Right? I wouldn't count on a DC employee to rat out another.

Hence the article.

"In neighboring Montgomery County, Md., where the public school system has almost twice as many students as the District, a spokesman said 52 employees spend at least part of their time on residency investigations. Last fiscal year, the system investigated 225 residency claims and found 135 of those families lived outside the county.

In Virginia’s Fairfax County, the school district’s central office employs 15 attendance officers whose duties include investigating residency fraud. A spokesman said fewer than 100 students were found to be living outside Fairfax County each year for the past eight years.

D.C. currently has a single investigator responsible for all residency fraud cases."

Ding ding ding.

"Of the six residency fraud cases currently pending in D.C. Superior Court, four involve at least one current or former school employee."

FFS.

I've been waiting for the Atasha James thing to come out.

YAYAYAYAY WP! Thank you!

I think Kang looks equally bad.

One person working on this? Ugh.

Another not-so-great look for DCPS officials and another mark against Crooked Kaya, who should never work in education again.
