Schools

All District 230 Students Must Prove Residency within the District Each Year

Verification dates set throughout Spring

In the district’s ongoing efforts to be fiscally responsible, all District 230 students need to show proof of residency within the district boundaries on an annual basis, similar to when students first enrolled at the high school.

This procedure was put into place to protect the financial interest of taxpayers in District 230 by assuring that the students who receive an education in our schools are legally entitled to do so.

A series of dates and times will held throughout second semester for parents/guardians to provide the necessary documentation:
