Note: According to Board Policy JECA, “In cases where a student living in the district wishes to register and such student is not able to provide proof that the student is domiciled in the district, the student, parent, military guardian, legal guardian or person acting as a parent may request a waiver of proof of residency. Waiver of proof of residency may only be granted on the basis of hardship or good cause.” In order to request a waiver, the parent/guardian must contact the Assistant Superintendent.
It is a crime to provide the district false information regarding residency. The Board authorizes the superintendent or designee to seek all criminal and civil recourse against any person who attempts to fraudulently assert residency in the district. Based on state statute 167.020, RSMo, any person who knowingly submits false information to satisfy the residency requirements shall be subject to class A misdemeanor charges and may be civilly liable for the expense incurred while the student was enrolled.
