In order to ensure that Splendora ISD resources are being utilized for students who reside in SISD, starting in the school year 2024-2025, all students in the following categories will be required to provide proof of residency, as established by SISD Board Policy FD.

• All new students to SISD
• Returning SISD students that will be incoming Kindergarten, 7th, and 9th graders
• Returning students with a change of address
• Any student enrolled with a lease agreement will be required to submit an updated lease annually with a start and end date, and the student must be listed on the lease agreement. The lease must be for a minimum of 6 months, and if it is for 6 months, an updated lease must be submitted at the end of that lease's term. All lease agreements must be notarized, and the entire lease must be submitted.

Under Texas Education Code §25.001(b)(1), a student is entitled to admission if the student and either parent reside in the district. This document provides information on the forms needed to help prove residency requirements.

Texas Education Code §25.001(b) (2-9), identifies other circumstances under which a student may be enrolled. A student enrolled under the TEC §25.001(b) (2-9) provisions will require additional forms to be completed such as, but not limited to Shared Residency Affidavit or Power of Attorney. Any type of special circumstance may be discussed with a school administrator and/or designee (such as the registrar). 

Failure to produce the appropriate documents for admission and enrollment may result in an investigation by school officials to determine residency eligibility of the student and either parent. The investigation may include home-visits by a school official or School Resource Officer (SRO). The residency procedures outlined in this document do not apply to homeless students. 

In the event that SISD determines documentation was falsified and the student was not a resident of SISD, the student will be required to withdraw from SISD within 10 days. SISD may pursue legal action against a parent for the amount the district has budgeted for each student as maintenance and operating expenses under TEC §25.001(h)(2) for the period the ineligible student was enrolled in a SISD school.

All applicants must submit one document from Category A or B and one from Column C in the legal guardian's name:

Category A:

• Mortgage Statement from last 30 days
• Notarized Lease Agreement*
• Executed Contract (closing within 30 days)

Category B:

The Proof of Residency must be in the property owner’s name; if this person does not have legal responsibility for the child (such as the name of the person with whom you are living), then a Shared Residency Affidavit is required.  A Shared Residency Affidavit can be obtained through the campus registrars by appointment only.  Click the link here to view the Shared Residency Affidavit Procedure.
