Palatine Township Elementary School District 15 will be checking the residency of more students starting next year to determine if they live within the district s boundaries.
The district currently doesn t require families to annually verify where they live, which is a fairly atypical practice, according to Superintendent Laurie Heinz, who discussed the policy change during a school board meeting last week.
Most area districts require families to reverify each year, officials said. District 15 only checks families residency when students begin kindergarten or are new to the district. If you register somebody when they re (5 years old), they stick with us all the way through eighth grade, Heinz said.
