STUDENT RESIDENCE ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS

Per School Board Policy 5.011, residence and/or address shall mean the home location where
the student and a parent (if applicable) are primarily living. Residence does not refer to
citizenship or proof of residence that would require a permanent resident card (Green Card) or
any immigration documentation. School personnel are strictly prohibited from requesting
and/or requiring documentation of the immigration status of students and families. It is the
responsibility of the parent(s) to promptly notify the school, in writing, of any change in a
student’s address.

A student must attend the school in his/her school attendance boundary unless otherwise
formally approved for a different school. Students may also choose to attend virtual school in
accordance with Florida law.

Examples of times a student is formally approved to attend a different school include:
 acceptance to a choice program;

 McKay Scholarship transfer;

 Individual Education Plan (IEP) or Education Plan (EP) placement; and/or
 voluntary and involuntary reassignment (as authorized by law or another School Board
Policy).

 Controlled Open Enrollment (COE)

insufficient. Examples of acceptable documents reflecting residential street addresses are as follows:
 home telephone or cellular telephone bill;
