The Woodbridge School District Residency Fraud Enforcement Task Force – a joint agency investigative team comprised of the Office of School Security and the Woodbridge Police Department Juvenile Aid Bureau – reviews complaints and conducts investigations involving residency fraud, illegal registration of students and truancy, according to Township Councilman Brian Small, who serves as coordinator of school security and is a former Board of Education member, and Robert Hubner, director of the Woodbridge Police Department (WPD). “Residency fraud that results in the registration of students who do not legally reside in Woodbridge Township not only cheats parents and taxpayers that play by the rules and pay their school taxes, but it also seriously impacts the quality-of-life for township residents,” McCormac said. Officials said administrative and/or legal complaint action(s) were initiated once a student was determined to not be a resident in the township. The township has three high schools, five middle schools and 17 elementary schools. McCormac and Zega announced the results of the task force on April 17.
