Subject:	7-11-07 Board Meeting Question - Sandra Richmond -  Policies-Address Verification Policy
On July 9th the following question was received from Board Member Sandra Richmond regarding Board Item Special Meeting RE: Policies – Address Verification Policy

Question: Why would a credit card bill or cell phone bill be proof?
Response: Most, if not all, of the items in Section 1 of the Policy originated from the list of acceptable proofs of address that the District has historically used to initially enroll a child in school.  Since a person may not have a lease or mortgage in their name, we have always accepted other bills that have the person's name and address.   We are aware that a person could falsify their billing address.  This in mind, the more stringent proof of address requirements contained in Section 2 are triggered in any case where there is reasonable cause to believe that falsified addresses are being used by parents.  The policy was structured this way to minimize workload for school centers and to maintain continuity in the procedures customarily used to initially enroll a child.
