Dear parent/guardian,
Penalty for falsifying information:
A person who knowingly or willfully provides false information to a school district regarding the residency of a pupil for the
purpose of enabling the pupil to attend any school in the district without the payment of a non-resident tuition charge commits
a class C misdemeanor (not more than 30 days in jail and/or a fine not to exceed $1,500). 105 ILCS 5/10-20.12b and 730
ILCS 5/5-9-1
What does custody mean?
The facts surrounding any temporary transfer of custody will determine whether or not residency has been established. The
mere creation of a guardianship, transfer of custody, or change of address is not sufficient to establish residence for school
attendance purposes. 105 ILCS 5/10-20.12b
What if I am living with a relative or friend?
The relative or friend must be present to show proof of residency. In addition, there needs to be a notarized, signed affidavit
stating that both the resident homeowner and custodial parent are in agreement with this living arrangement.
How do I prove that I live within the district where I want to send my child?
If you own a house, rent an apartment or live with someone within the school district and you are the parent or legal
custodian with whom the child lives, then the school district is required by law to provide the child an education. District 427
