School wants us to pay tuition?

[justalayman]

Proof of residence including but not limited to:
1. Lease document
2. Real estate contract
3. Vehicle registration
4. Utility bill receipts
5. Homeowner or tenants insurance policy.

I stand by my position; if the OP had actually transferred their legal residence to the new home, I believe they have a valid claim to not be charged tuition. Obviously that would include the corrections of their drivers licenses and vehicle registrations. Purchase of owner occupied homeowners insurance would be fair support as well.

Of course, we have that little thing about no closing yet on the home. If that is the case, then they did not own nor rent property within the district and as such, not entitled to free tuition (isn't that an oxymoron?)

We did rent the home between Mar 2010 and closing date (Sep 2010). It was a "rent to own" type situation. However, we weren't fully moved in or living there 24/7. THAT is what they are trying to catch us on. Apparently a neighbor said that we weren't full time living in the home.

But you were living close enough, but not in the same district, to take him to school every day?

What is the tuition amount they want you to pay?

so, to the rest of the supporting evidence;

drivers license
vehicle registration
owner occupant homeowners insurance
voters registration
utility bills


If those items are not addressed to the house in question, you cannot argue you considered that to be your primary residence.

Yes, all of the above are addressed to the house in question.

If that is the case - you MIGHT be able to argue it.

I taught high school on the Mexican border. We had issues ALL THE TIME with residency and students living in Mexico. If a parent had ALL those things, I don't think we could have charged tuition. Even if the parent had all those documents, but also maintained a house elsewhere (like in Mexico) where they stayed most/all of the time, I don't think we could have said tuition was justified.

You couldn't take this whole case on the neighbor's word, if you have all the supporting documentation. Call the superintendent.

I would suggest bringing such proof to your meeting.
