This is absolutely fraud and is part of how an inequitable system persists. I would absolutely report it.

For real. This is an issue for the Wilson feeder schools. No one else cares.

Except the people who want into the Wilson feeders. They care. They care because they can’t get in because other people who are rich enough to afford it will lie.

I guess you don’t care about equity as much as you say you do.

When you trot out this little “as much as you say you do” line, who are you speaking to? The voices in your head.

Any actual response to the point that ignoring, if not encouraging people who have the money to cheat the system is not equitable? Anything? Do you think the rich deserve more just because they can afford it?

it sounds like they are following the rules and if the had more money, they would just buy an inbounds house. That's what the rich who want to stay public do- they purchase a house in an acceptable school district. It's not cheating, it's how the system was designed to work

It’s awful that you would report one of your child’s classmates!

OP, nobody cares unless they live in MD or VA. Schools take the documents to units that don't even exist in buildings. All it takes is a little googling to see that the unit number is fake. My work could print out a paycheck with 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on it for all they care.
There are kids, often IB prk4 kids, who stay out because of the fake addresses submitted to school. When the school said how lucky we were to get in our IB, now I know what they meant.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. OP, why don't you offer to rent out the apartment so your kid can attend the good IB school, too?

Wrong. IB people don’t really care about this (although nobody likes an entitled cheater), but those who play the lottery for the scarce OOB spots, who are being cheated out of their chances, presumably do.

Yeah no. Deal feeders take a handful of spots total. Maybe more from Hardy through Hyde, etc. But you’re very transparent that you’re making this up. Those of us that are OOB don’t actually care because we know we haven’t been able to get in OOB in a decade. Nice try though.

It is not lost on me that we have this thread where people want to follow all the rules to a T, but there was a recent thread about travel restrictions where parents were arguing that you shouldn’t follow rules just because someone tells you to. I’m not going to say which is right, but I want to point this out as an example of white privileged.

After one month, they can legally move. Those are the rules. They are silly, but that is what DC has decided to make the rules. It sounds like they know this and are not planning to rent it out right away.

Where did you get the one month requirement? I've never seen or heard that before.

As long as you live IB on count day, you are on the right side of the rules.

By this logic, if you see someone breaking into a car, you shouldn't call 911. Maybe they just got locked out! Same thing with some sneaking through a window.

OP you should report to osse and the school.

Breaking into another person's car is not the same as renting a home and sending kid to school in that school district. Full stop.

Secondly, breaking into a car doesn't involve a child and their welfare. You just don't know what is really going on.

We know exactly what's going on. Boundary fraud. It doesn't matter *why*

You keep saying fraud. Please find a written policy that defines fraud this way. I have only seen fraud defined as residency fraud, not boundary “fraud”.
