Existing law requires each person between 6 and 18 years of age not otherwise exempted to attend the public full-time day school or continuation school or classes in the school district where the person's parent or legal guardian is located. Existing law provides various exceptions to this residency requirement, including, but not limited to, authorizing a pupil to attend school in a school district in which his or her parent or legal guardian is employed. This bill would require a school district to accept a wide range of documents and representations from the parent or legal guardian of a pupil living with his or her parent or legal guardian as reasonable evidence that the pupil meets those residency requirements, including, but not limited to, property tax payment receipts, rental property contract, lease, or payment receipts, utility service contract, statement, or payment receipts, pay stubs, voter registration, correspondence from a government agency, or a declaration of residency executed by the parent or legal guardian of a pupil. The bill would, if an employee of a school district reasonably believes that the parent or legal guardian of a pupil has provided false or unreliable evidence of residency, authorize the school district to make reasonable efforts to determine that the pupil actually meets the residency requirements. The bill would specify that it not be construed as limiting access to pupil enrollment in a school district as otherwise provided by state and federal statutes and regulations. Existing law provides that any school district that is adjacent to an international border may accept a wide range of documents and representations from the parent or guardian of a pupil for purposes of establishing residency in a school district, as specified. Existing law requires those school districts to make reasonable efforts to determine whether a pupil meets the residency requirements if any employee of such a school district reasonably believes that the parent or guardian of the pupil has provided false or unreliable evidence of residency. This bill would repeal these provisions.
