School district residency fraud occurs when individuals provide false information about a student’s address to gain educational benefits in a specific district. This practice violates district rules and regulations. To prevent fraud, school districts monitor residency, ensuring that legal residents – those who pay taxes within the district – receive their rightful benefits. Frasco offers discreet investigative services to identify potentially fraudulent residents and maintain compliance with residency rules.
