Proof of Residence Verification
July 09, 2001
Dear Parent or Legal Guardian:
The Torrance Unified School District may ONLY enroll students whose Parent or Legal Guardian reside within school district boundaries (E.C. 48204). Residence verification is a parent responsibility and falsification of information will be grounds for immediate cancellation of enrollment. There can only be one residence (Government Code Sec. 244). If parents live separately, the parent awarded custody and control of the child establishes the residence.
Present TWO of the following items to verify your name
and home address:
*Current Electric and So. Calif. Gas Bills
*Current Electric Bill and Cable TV Statement
*Current Electric and Water/Trash Bills
WE WILL NOT ACCEPT RENTAL AGREEMENTS, RENT RECEIPTS OR
TELEPHONE BILLS.
*Must show parent name and address service is connected to.
If utility bill is not in the parent?s name, a notarized residency
form will be required by the school and must be renewed annually.
In addition, periodic home checks may be done.
Present at least THREE other acceptable documents listed below if you rent and DO NOT PAY UTILITIES. In addition, provide a current letter on PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY LETTERHEAD ONLY stating utilities are included in the rent.
OTHER ACCEPTABLE DOCUMENTS: (also subject to periodic
home checks) --Current Computer Printout of DMV Car Registration
(where you reside)
(When you move, you must give your new address to the DMV within 10
days. IT?S THE LAW.)
--Current Car Insurance Statement (at home, where you reside)
--Current Bank Statement (checking or savings - not checks)
--Current Official Government Mail (CalWORKs, Social Security,
Income Tax, etc.)
--Current Verification of Residence Service Letter from So. Calif.
Edison **
--Current Verification of Residence Service Letter from So. Calif.
Gas**
--Current Moving Company Receipt from Prior Address to New
Address
--California Identification Card
--Voter Registration Card
**Must show parent name, address and date of service followed by utility bill presented to school within thirty (30) days. THIS LETTER MUST BE ON THEIR LETTERHEAD
Escrow papers WITH CLOSING DATE WITHIN 60 DAYS AND NO CONTINGENCIES may be considered at the beginning of a school year.
| PARENTS/GUARDIANS ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT TO THE SCHOOL, IN WRITING, A CHANGE OF ADDRESS WITHIN THIRTY (30) CALENDAR DAYS OF THE CHANGE. PROOF OF THIS CHANGE IS ALSO REQUIRED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY BE CAUSE FOR FORFEITURE OF THE RIGHT TO A CONTINUING ENROLLMENT PERMIT. IF FALSE OR INACCURATE RESIDENCE INFORMATION IS DISCOVERED, THE STUDENT WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE DISTRICT OR SCHOOL OF RESIDENCE. |
