More districts are cracking down on non-residents unlawfully enrolling in school

From The New York Times: As part of a crackdown on non-residents attending school, a new policy in the Greenwich (Conn.) school district requires parents or guardians registering their child for school to complete notarized affidavits testifying to their address. Lying, the document points out, could result in criminal prosecution.
