The City of Washington, DC is cracking down and in a big way!!!

The DC Attorney General is suing 6 Families that live in Maryland and trying to recoup hundreds of thousands of dollars from those parents because they are being accused of Falsifying D.C. addresses to attend some of D.C. Prestigious Schools without paying tuition.

Attorney General Racine has filed a total of four lawsuits seeking nearly $700,000 in unpaid tuition as well as potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in penalties.

In one case, Racine’s office said a Maryland mother fabricated D.C. residency to send her child to the prestigious Duke Ellington School of the Arts and also fraudulently enrolled herself and her children in the District’s food stamp program.

In all of the cases, parents submitted bogus addresses on official forms. The Attorney General said the parents “lied repeatedly when it came to their official residency.

Two of the parents sued by the AG are employees of D.C.’s Department of Corrections.
