Troup County Schools Introduce Affidavit of Residency for Student Registration
July 21, 2011
In an effort to strengthen the Troup County Schools
student assignment policy, new requirements for the documents
provided during registration will be necessary for the 2011-2012
school year. Georgia Law and Troup County Board of Education policy
requires that students attending Troup County Schools must live and
reside in Troup County on a full time basis. Student assignment to
schools is based on the legal residence of the parent or legal
guardian.
Required documents for all Troup County Schools students include:
1. An
Affidavit of Residence (document must be signed in the presence
of a Notary);
2. One item from the following list for address verification:
a. property tax records which indicate the location of the residence;
b. property deed, mortgage documents or a security deed which indicates the location of the residence;
c. apartment or home lease or rent receipt indicating the current address;
d. current utility bill for electricity or utility application for electricity showing the current address;
e. current telephone bill;
3. Current Georgia driver's license (if no current Georgia driver's
license, a current Georgia voter precinct identification card or
other voter documentation indicating the current address).
Troup County Schools appreciates the patience and support of
parents and stakeholders during the implementation of this new
procedure. Due to the upcoming registration dates and the delayed
notice of this new procedure, Troup County Schools will provide an
extension of thirty days (30 days) for parents to complete and
return the Affidavit of Residency. Schools will have the Affidavit
of Residency and Notary Public services available should parents
elect to complete the affidavit during registration.
