Shared Residency Procedure

Students and parents who live with another family must apply for Shared Residency annually. The homeowner, who is defined as the person responsible for the payment of property taxes, and the parent/guardian must meet with the campus registrar at the time of enrollment. The homeowner will be required to provide a bill, such as an electric bill, with their name and address listed on the bill. The homeowner and parent/guardian will also complete an affidavit of Shared Residency notarized by an SISD employee. The affidavit is a formal sworn statement by both parties. Shared Residency can not be done on a lease without the homeowner's consent.  All tenants (students included) must be identified on the lease.

In order to complete the registration process under a Shared Residency, the parent must provide a hard copy of their current valid Driver's License with the same address as the residence and one current document from the four following categories.  If the parent does not have a driver's license with the current address, they have 30 days to provide this information. During this period, the parent should make necessary arrangements to update their driver's license with the correct address and submit the updated copy to the school.

  • Documents from the employer, such as a paycheck stub with the current living address listed, tax form, and withholding statements;

  • A voter's registration card mailed to the enrolling party at the address identified as the residence;

  • Insurance papers issued in the name of the enrolling party with an address listed;

  • A current bill and/or statements from a bank, credit union, department store, gasoline company, or a major credit card company with an address listed.

It is crucial to note that any falsification of information on a form required for a student's enrollment in the District is a serious offense. Those found guilty will be liable to the District for tuition or other costs, as provided in Education Code 25.001 (h) if the student is not eligible for enrollment but is enrolled on the basis of false information. Furthermore, presenting false information or false records is a criminal offense under Penal Code 37.10.

The Board of Trustees or its designee may make reasonable inquiries to verify a person's eligibility for admission under TEC 25.001 (c). This may include a home visit by a district representative or a law enforcement officer and/or be withdrawn from the District.
