TWO proofs of residency:

Section 3202 of the Education Law governs where a student attends school. Specifically, a student’s eligibility to attend school is determined by the residency of his/her parent(s) or legal
guardian(s).

Residency for public education purposes envisions physical presence with the intent of remaining. All proofs must be in parent’s/legal guardian’s name, state home address and be currently dated and may include a:

  • telephone bill;
  • utility bill;
  • tax bill;
  • bank statement;
  • payroll check stub;
  • income tax return;
  • lease (may need to be notarized by landlord);
  • rent receipt (may need to be notarized by landlord);
  • report about Social Service benefit information specifically stating the home address. 
  • If you’re buying or building a home, contact the registrar for acceptable proofs of residency.

The above documents constitute acceptable proof of residency in the Scotia-Glenville Central School District. The District has the right to question the authenticity of the residency documents presented.Periodic resubmission also may be required to verify continued residency.

School personnel may not register a student or develop a secondary schedule without sufficient proof of residency. Questions or concerns shall be referred to the Superintendent.
