Government Code 244 defines a residence as: "the place where one remains when not working .... and to which one returns for sleep". It also states, "There can only be one primary place of residence declared for the student."
Evidence of residency for a pupil living with his or her parent/legal guardian/ caregiver shall be established by current documentation showing the name and address of the responsible adult within the school district.
