Northside ISD is committed to enrolling each and every child who legitimately resides in the
district even if the child is not residing with a parent. If a person is attempting to enroll a child
and the person is not the parent of the child, the person will be required to obtain a POWER OF
ATTORNEY (POA) stating that the parent has given the person care, custody and control of the
student for school purposes, health care and general welfare. In addition, the POA will give the
person parental rights to participate in and consent to the district’s decisions, hearings and
testing that affect the child’s evaluation for placement in or removal from any type of special
education classes or programs.
When a person submits a P
A
, the person is attesting that:
OWER OF

1. The child lives with the person and spends the night at the person’s residence Sunday
through Thursday;
2. The person’s name will appear as the primary point of contact on school records to
include the AGR Card and the child’s Medical Card.
As such, the person will be
contacted in case of an emergency;
3. The person will be available for conferences;
4. The person will be responsible for the conduct of the child in cases including, but not
limited to, truancy, criminal proceedings, and discipline hearings;
5. The person’s financial information shall be used to determine if the child qualifies for
free/reduced meals.
When the person signs a P

the person is stating that the information is true.
OWER OF

In some cases, the recipient will not be able to secure the parent’s consent to P
OWER OF
A
at the time the person wishes to enroll the child. The recipient will be given 30 days in
TTORNEY
which to obtain and submit the parent’s signature on the P
A
. Failure to do so
OWER OF

been reported as missing.

A
shall be placed in the child’s file. A copy shall be given

to the recipient and a copy shall be retained by the Department of Pupil Personnel. Once
approved, the P

. Also, the campus Principal
