If any District employee reasonably believes the parent/guardian of a student has provided false or unreliable evidence of residency, the District shall make reasonable efforts to determine if the student meets residency requirements. Reasonable efforts include, but are not limited, to home visits and investigation by a private detective. District employees may also ask for current proof of residence at any time. Falsification of any information or documents, either written or verbal will result in revocation of enrollment.
