It looks like they can ask for proof of residency, but not immigration status.
- dalke 10y agoIn case it wasn't clear, "residency" here means residency in the district, not residency in the US. Nor is a license required for that proof. For example, http://www.browardschools.com/Parents-Students/Parent-Student-Pages/Register-My-Child-In-School http://www.browardschools.com/Parents-Students/Parent-Studen... shows that a Notarized lease agreement and a utility bill suffice for that county. For that matter, https://www.hcps.org/parents/proofofresidency.aspx https://www.hcps.org/parents/proofofresidency.aspx says a driver’s license is not acceptable as proof of residency.
- mgamache 10y agoRight. What's interesting here (in Indiana -- and probably a lot of states) is that you can't get state ID without proof of being a US Citizen or proper immigration status. So, asking for a state id is the equivalent of asking about citizenship/immigration status.
