Residency Requirements
The Northeast Vernon County R-1 School District was established to serve the children residing within the boundaries of the school district. Missouri law (Subsection 2 in section 167.020 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri) states that a child is entitled to attend school where the child resides and is domiciled and that "the domicile of the minor child shall be the domicile of the parent or court-appointed legal guardian..."
How is residency in the school district determined?
Whoever is registering a student under the age of 18 must demonstrate that the student lives in the district and is domiciled there. The domicile of the student shall be that of the student's parent, court-appointed legal guardian, or military guardian pursuant to a military guardianship. A letter granting power of attorney is not the same as a legal guardianship determined by the court. Schools typically require proof of residency at the time of enrollment, but may request proof at any time.
Proof of residency may come in a number of forms. The district may ask the registrant to sign a statement or affidavit relating to residency, produce a lease or rental agreement or utility bills, or ask for a copy of an occupancy permit, where appropriate.
