You guessed it folks... Maryland plates. After seeing the same thing 4 days in a row I finally followed them to a home in Silver Spring.
Worth looking into.
No idea if this is a troll, but I thought of this post yesterday when I walked past a car in Silver Spring with a Janney sticker. Now, it may have been a teacher, a divorce situation, etc., but I still chuckled.
Can we please just let this stupid post die already?!

Not sure I'm following this exchange. The pp shouting liar is claiming that everybody who contacts OSSE w/a tip enjoys total anonymity? The next person is asking the pp shouting liar for a law or citation preventing OSSE from sharing the identity of a tipster with the accused?
This is low-capacity, high corruption and dysfunction DC. We live in a city where clear rules are short supply almost everywhere you look--parking rules, construction rules, rules on school residency--and enforcement casual.

The person who "tipped them off" had written OSSE a signed letter. We were handed a copy of the letter when we arrived at the investigator's office and asked to respond to the allegations in it. Wish I were lying; I'd rather not have learned who complained.
With the benefit of hindsight, being reported worked out for us. It put rumors to rest and helped us get on with our lives as divorced parents. Believe what you like.
Liar.
How about you back that up with a citation to a law or regulation?

This is a lie. You don’t get the name of the person who tipped you off.
I’m reporting this lie so people aren’t mislead. I believe you’re a residency cheater and don’t want people to report you. Liar.
Of course eventually you'd get the name, if they gave their name and you have reason to believe it was faked due to a vendetta.

Well, there's logic worth following there. School system leaders get nowhere by punishing vulnerable children for their parents' inability to assemble a stack of documents proving DC and in-boundary residency.
If a happy medium approach is going to emerge, the sort of parents who jump on DCUM residency threads to bitch and try to out fellow parents must advocate like crazy for change.

If you guys want the mayors office and city council to push to crack down on residency fraud as you'd like, you need to get involved politically, and stay involved for years. Talk to Grosso for starters.
Or vote him out and get somebody in there who will do something.
They'd have to run themselves. Not a single candidate who has run in the last several years has pushed to do anything more aggressive about residency fraud.
Even the AG, who has prosecuted some of the most egregious cases, says that pursuit of residency fraud must be weighed against higher priority issues.

Why would an investigator bother to protect the identity of a person tipping them off? What would be in it for OSSE?
The PP shouting liar sounds pissed that investigations haven't led to hundreds of kids being tossed out of schools.
