HCPSS MPIA Request #2018-140
Requested Information
Please provide any assessment done to see how many students are attending schools (Elementary, Middle, and High) outside their designated school area. Further, please indicate whether any study is conducted or planned to identify students who are merely using someone's address in order to just attend a particular school while they reside outside the designated school area.
Response Notes
Please note, while no studies have been done to identify students using non-resident addresses, per Policy 9000 an investigation can be conducted when a student seeks to meet enrollment/eligibility requirements or when there is cause to suspect an unreported change in residency. Data is available on residency hearings, contained in the Student Reassignments document provided, which are a component of the residency process and used when parents/guardians appeal a residency decision of the Student Reassignment and Residency Office.
Responsive Documents
Data regarding reassignments as collected by the Student Reassignment and Residency Office. For reference, definitions of types of reassignments listed on the left-hand side of this chart can be found in the HCPSS Policy 9000 – Student Residency, Eligibility, Enrollment and Assignment: http://www.hcpss.org/f/board/policies/9000.pdf as well as the Student Reassignment Request Form: http://www.hcpss.org/f/files/student_reassignment1208.pdf.
