Age of Child Requirements
A child must be five years old before December 1st of the school year in which the student seeks to enroll. The child shall remain enrolled until they graduate high school or turn 21 years old.
If there is a certified transcript of a birth certificate or a certified transcript of foreign birth certificate, no other form of evidence will be required to establish a child's age.
If a certified transcript of a birth certificate is not available, the District will request a passport, including a foreign passport, to establish the child's age.
If neither a certified transcript of a birth certificate or a passport is available, the District will consider other documentation (provided that those documents have been in existence for two (2) years or more), including but not limited to:
- Official driver's license for the child
- State or other government issued identification, or government agency documents providing a date of birth or age
- Consulate identification card
- Military dependent identification card
- Court orders or court issued documents
- Native American tribal documents; or
- Where documents are presented that originate in a foreign country, the District may request verification of the documents from an appropriate foreign government of agency, consistent with the requirements of FERPA concerning the confidentiality of education records.
