Admission of Resident Students

Children must be 5 years of age before August 1st to attend kindergarten for the upcoming school year.

All students, five to twenty-one years of age, who reside within the boundaries of the District may attend District schools tuition-free. In order to “reside” within the District, the student must be physically domiciled within District boundaries. The domicile of a minor child is generally the domicile of the student’s parents or guardian.

A student may only register in the District if the student provides proof of residency or if the student or parent requests a waiver from the Board of Education on the basis of hardship or good cause.

If the Superintendent has reason to suspect that the admission of a student will create an immediate danger to the safety of others, a meeting will be convened. At the meeting, the District will determine how to proceed with the student enrollment.

Designated attendance areas for all schools shall be established by the Union R-XI Board of Education to make optimum use of district school facilities. Students residing within the attendance area of a school shall attend that school except as otherwise provided by the policies of the Union R-XI Board of Education.
