Samantha McElhaney John, principal of PS 327 Dr. Rose B. English, allegedly used another parent's address in Brooklyn to enroll her daughter in a higher-performing school. This maneuver, benefiting from proximity, allows John to sidestep approximately $5,000 in non-resident tuition fees. Living in a struggling area of Long Island, John claims a Brooklyn address to meet enrollment requirements but risks prosecution for fraud or larceny due to residency verification laws. Concerns arise regarding how she enrolled her daughter and the implications of her actions, given the ethics of school admissions.
"Claiming a false address to enroll in a public school can be prosecuted as fraud or larceny, according to legal experts."
"To enroll a student in NYC, parents or guardians must show at least two proofs of residency such as a rental agreement or a utility bill."
