Not at all. They live in MD. No idea if they own or not. They used a false NE address but had kids in upper NW schools which is not in boundary for any NE property.

They, just like famous athletes, need to respect the fact that they should be role models. While no one is perfect, there is no excuse for this, zero.

Thank you for this. It is important to remember that real people are involved and, in this case, apparently two people whose jobs are to protect the very neighborhoods in which many of our posters live.


Yes, two real people who are charged with arresting those who break the law. How ironic.

And they were breaking the law for a period of ~10 years. Not just a year or 2 when their kids were little. I have tremendous respect for police officers and the difficult work they do ... but this family should have moved into the city or put their kids in school where they lived. Like the rest of us have to do.

I think police, lawyers, and judges, other public servants should be held to a high standard. This is simply not acceptable for any citizen and it makes it worse if it is someone who spends their day enforcing the law.

None of that is an excuse to break the law.

This has nothing to do with whether she was a nice child. They were breaking the law, and now they have to pay the consequences, literally.

Oh stop.

Many DC residents work long hours in MoCo and have difficult child care. Me included.

For all the complaining on here, I don't see this as some big coup. 1 family for the whole year was determined to be residency cheats? According to DCUM, the number is way, way higher.

+1Million. DC should 1) advertise these cases as much as possible and 2) COLLECT TUITION ALWAYS, even if it takes years. simply catching the cheaters and kicking the kids out does not work since the cheaters, at worst, would have to leave the school. if people knew that, when caught, they will have to pay back tuition, they may think twice about cheating.


yes, dc is seeking ~225K in this case for tuition and penalties
