The question is who would have standing to sue? It would have to be someone directly impacted. So a member of an organization that should have been given higher priority than Maret who applied for a permit and was denied in favor of Maret. It's not going to be a DC agency because the city can't sue itself, it's unlikely to be a programmatic partner, so it would have to be a youth non-profit benefiting principally DC residents. I would say a PTA/PTO would qualify for that.
An individual Hardy or SWW family would have standing.
Does the District's OIG have grounds to investigate?
I’d love to see the OIG on behalf of DCPS Washington DC-resident families sue all of the Maryland students and their parents for theft of services for fraudulently enrolling in DC schools. Imagine the $$$ damages.
Do we know how many Hardy students aren’t just out of boundary, but residents of outside DC?
No. Why don’t you do a survey? In the interests of assuring compliance with standard protocols of ethics when collecting information from human subjects, please be sure to fully disclose your affiliation with Maret and the intended uses of the data collected.

Can Hardy students sue to have the staff parking lot converted to athletic space? To have DC fix up the “Ellington” field?

Actually they'd be under "other organizations" because they don't "principally serve district residents".
Good point!
Um.. let's talk about how numbers work. #3 is not "above all concerns"
And By your own admission Maret would be #2.
I think you mean the British School when you refer to falling under "Other"
Ha, yes. I should have said “above Maret, except Maret cheated.”

Maret is not a DPR partner. A list of DPR partners is on the DPR website at:

Maret is not on it.
