Residency Verification
Students are considered a resident of the school district in which the residency of either the parent or legal guardian is located. Proof of residency is required when enrolling students or when the school has reason to believe that a student’s residency has changed.
A student residing within the district may establish residency by documenting that he/she lives with a parent/legal guardian within the district, that he/she is an emancipated minor living in the district, or that he/she is in the court-appointed care of a licensed foster home, family home, or children’s institution within the district. Students shall also qualify as district resident if placed by the parent/legal guardian into a home within the district, provided the home is properly licensed or is in the home of a relative as defined by the California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (Education Code 48200-48204).

- Is confined to a district area hospital or residential care facility for treatment of a temporary disability
