A Reminder About School District Residency
Ohio law determines which public school district a student is legally entitled to attend based upon residency. Providing an address within the district when the parent/guardian and student actually reside elsewhere does not establish residency. Using the address of a relative, friend, rental property, or other location where the family does not actually reside may result in the student being determined ineligible to attend the district.

When residency is in question, the district may request additional documentation and investigate the circumstances to determine where the parent/guardian and student actually reside.

If it is determined that a student is attending the district based upon false or inaccurate residency information, the district may take appropriate action under Ohio law and Board policy. Depending upon the circumstances, this may include:
• Withdrawal from the district
• Enrollment in the student's actual district of residence
• Seeking tuition or other costs when permitted by law
• Referral of intentionally false information to the appropriate authorities when warranted

We understand that families sometimes experience complicated housing situations. There are also important exceptions under Ohio law. If your family's living situation has changed or you are unsure whether your child qualifies to attend our district, please contact the enrollment office.We would much rather work with a family to determine the appropriate enrollment status than discover later that inaccurate residency information was provided.

Residency requirements help ensure that district resources are appropriately provided to the students and families our schools are legally responsible to serve.
