What’s in it
AI summary Children can now attend a school district for free if they live with someone in that district who is not their parent. To qualify, the person looking after the child must provide proof of guardianship or a notarized letter from a parent giving them permission to enroll the child.1
Read the official explanation
This bill amends the definition of “resident”, used for purposes of determining eligibility for enrollment in a school district free of tuition, to add a minor who is enrolled by a person who resides in the school district and submits to the school district either a notarized letter signed by the minor’s parent authorizing the person to enroll the minor child in the school district or proof of guardianship.
