In individual cases, this may be true. But a large number of MD cars, for example, picking up and dropping off, suggests that there is some amount of residency fraud going on. It's interesting, for example, that schools where you would expect to see high levels of nannies picking up children in their own vehicles (e.g., Janney, Mann) actually have relatively low anecdotal numbers of MD plated vehicles dropping or retrieving students. Other schools, particularly those who draw their students from around the city (where it may be easier for a fraudster to fly below the radar because the school-neighborhood identity isn't as strong) have higher numbers of out of state cars.

84% of kids at Mann are in-bounds. At Amidon, it's 82%. Not a huge difference.

Some school communities are very diligent in ferreting out and reporting fraud. Fraudster families don't last very long at Janney, for example.

The fraudsters, scammers and chiselers will be back in August.

I'll never understand why DCUM has so many of this threads and why people get so angry. There's a process and people should simply follow the process. If you suspect someone is cheating, take down the plate (or gather whatever proof you have) and turn them in to the proper authorities. Let them investigate. If there is a legit reason an out of state plate is at drop off, it will be very easy for the suspected family to prove they're legal. If they can't prove it and are, in fact, residency cheats, they'll be caught and dealt with. Problem solved.

The residency cheaters I know of take metro

Dad is breaking the law by not having MD tags and If he's not the custodial parent they're residency cheaters.

My neighbor regularly has her child dropped off in cars with DC plates: one is her FATHER and the other is her GRANDMOTHER.

My child's best friend is dropped off and picked up in a car with MD plates: it's a nanny.

Chill out.

(1) what are you doing on the DC Boards?

(2) by not changing your tags you're breaking the law.

This is clearly a bullshit post.

The tag police is one anorexic mom with a three year old, who wants amidon bowen to have less brown children.

Or a troll pretending to be the same. Either way, is there a point in letting her continue?

Trust me, the tag policewoman wouldn't send her kid to that cesspool in a hundred years. But having to pay for non-residents to go there sucks too bad. It's about wasting public money on non-residents, which you self-important fools cannot comprehend.

Wow who else can you manage to offend with a single post?

Evidently just you, PP.

Wrong. I'm new to this thread, and I found it over the top as well.

Amidon has in the past removed families for committing residency fraud. If you have more substantial evidence then license plates you should bring it to the attention of the proper authorities

For the 20 millionth time picking up a child in car in a car with MD or Virginia tags is not definitive proof of anything. Maybe we should have a law that says only custodial parents can pick up their children.
