Procedures for a residence check:

Step 1: Fill out a residency check referral on google. Request for a home check form

Step 2: Once the CWA receives this referral, the CWA will review the residency check criteria and determine if a residency check is needed.

Step 3: Within 5 days of the request, the CWA will inform the requester if they are investigating residency

Step 4: The CWA will inform the requester what the results of the residency check yielded

Step 5: The CWA will send the school the letter to give to the student informing them of the results of the residency check and their rights to appeal.

Step 6: Denial or Revocation of Enrollment If the CWA, upon investigation, determines that a student's enrollment or attempted enrollment is based on false evidence of residency, he/she shall revoke the student's enrollment. Before any such revocation, the parent/guardian shall be sent written notice. This notice shall state the parent/guardian's right, within five school days, to schedule a meeting with the Coordinator of Student Services to inspect supporting documents, rebut district evidence, question any district witnesses, and present oral and/or documentary evidence, including witnesses, on the student's behalf. For good cause, the Coordinator of Student Services may extend the meeting date for an additional five days to permit the parent/guardian to obtain required documentation. If the parent/guardian fails to schedule the above meeting, the student's enrollment shall be revoked six school days after the date of the notice.

If the above meeting is held, the Coordinator of Student Services shall prepare a written decision describing his/her findings. If the Coordinator of Student Services decision is upheld, the parent/guardian shall be informed of his/her right to appeal to the Board of Education within 10 days. A parent/guardian who appeals to the Board shall have the right to have a representative present and to rebut district evidence, question any district witnesses, and present oral and/or documentary evidence, including witnesses, on the student's behalf. Except in cases where good cause is shown, the Board shall not reopen the record to consider evidence or argument which was not presented to the Coordinator of Student Services. The student may continue to attend school during the period of the appeal. The Board's decision shall be final.
