Students
Administrative Procedure – Establishing Student Residency
A person seeking to enroll a student must present the following documents:
- Certified or registered birth certificate for the student.
- Proof of residency. See 7:60-E1 for acceptable documents.
- Where a Custody Order exists, a court order, agreement, judgement, or decree that awards or gives custody of the student to any person (including divorce decrees awarding custody to one or both parents).
- Military Personnel Enrolling a Student for the First Time in the District:
Must provide one of the following within 60 days after the date of the student's initial enrollment:
- Postmarked mail addressed to military personnel
- Lease agreement for occupancy
- Proof of ownership of residence
- Military Personnel Wanting to Keep child/Ward Enrolled in the District Despite Having Changed Residence Due to a Military Service Obligation:
Upon submitting a written request, the student's residence will be deemed to be unchanged for the duration of the custodian's military service obligation. The District, however, is not responsible for the student's transportation to or from school.
- Military Personnel Placing Non-Resident Child Ward with Non-Custodial Parent While on Active Military Duty:
A student will not be charged tuition while he or she is placed with a non-custodial parent (a person who has temporary custody of a child of active duty military personnel and who is responsible for making decisions for the child).
Must provide any "special power of attorney" created by the student's parent/guardian for the District to follow. A special power of attorney authorizes: (1) the student to enroll in a district of the non-custodial parent, and (2) the non-custodial parent to make decisions for the student. Any special power of attorney will be filed in the student's temporary record.
The District reserves the right to evaluate the evidence presented, and merely presenting the items listed in this Procedure and 7:60-E1 does not guarantee admission.
Warning:
If a student is determined to be a nonresident of the district for whom tuition must be charged, the persons enrolling the student are liable for non-resident tuition from the date the student began attending a District school as a non-resident.
A person who knowingly enrolls or attempts to enroll in this School District on a tuition-free basis a student known by that person to be a non-resident of the District is guilty of a Class C misdemeanor, except in very limited situations as defined in State law 105 ILCS 5/10-20.12b(e).
A person who knowingly or willfully presents to the School District any false information regarding the residency of a student for the purpose of enabling that student to attend any school in that District without the payment of a non-resident tuition charge is guilty of a Class C misdemeanor (105 ILCS 5/10-20.12b(f).
LEGAL REF.: 105 ILCS 5/10-20.12b(a-5), 105 ILCS 70/, added by P.A. 96-953.
