School choice movement pushes for open enrollment in Missouri - KansasCity.com


School choice movement pushes for open enrollment in Missouri - KansasCity.com:

"The idea of opening enrollment across school district boundaries has some obvious supporters.

Start with the families of the 84 students since the fall of 2007 whom the Lee’s Summit School District has removed from its schools for giving false addresses.

“Some forge documents that (say) they are living with someone else,” said Jeff Miller, Lee’s Summit’s director of student services. “Some put money on a place and show a contract, then back out.”"
