How to LEGALLY go to Long Island Public Schools - 7/24/2006 2:15:31 PM

Hello,
I have this question please. Does anyone know how to find information on what children can attend Long Island Public Schools? As an example, let's say that a kid has one parent. The parent spends the weekends in Long Island, but their *official* address is in Brooklyn (and that is where they spend Monday - Friday). The child attends Long Island Public Schools and lives with their Aunt and Uncle who reside in the school district the child is attending. Is that legal? Thank you *so* much.

Yes, you can attend any school district in Long Island with the permission of someone that lives in the district. In general, you could register a person who lives in the district (even if its just a friend) as long as you have their permission.

Is that really true that you can enter a Long Island school by simply having the permission of a resident of that district? Seems too easy. How would you go about presenting this permission? I am not a skeptic, just having a real hard time with schools. We are in the Lawrence school district which has alot of problems and would love to send my children to Long Beach which is 5 minutes away from my house.

This is not true. The CHILD is required to reside in the district. If someone catches on that the child does not, ( Which they will, unless you teach your children to lie like you do) the child will be asked to leave the school. You all make me quite sick. I pay over 10,000 a year in school taxes alone. Do you think I want to pay to send your child to school? Long Island schools are good because RESIDENTS pay extreme amounts of money. So if you want to send your child to a Long Island school, move to a house there and start paying like everybody else

No thats not legal!! You have to be a resident of the town of the LI school... these schools are great because of the high taxes people pay.,.. and that is why NYC schools stink and people want to illegally "sneak" their kids into them if they work out on the island... Buy a house on LI then send your kids to that district, You're looking at trouble if you get caught doing that!

Technically, you do not need to have a physical address in LI to attend school. It is legal if you are "homeless", and this definition is broad in the State of NY. When you go to register a child to any LI school they must provide you with literature on what "homeless" is. For example, if a child and/or family lives with a relative in any school district in LI the child can attend that school and he/she does not need to provide documentation of residence. One is considered homeless if they double up with a relative or friend, live in a hotel, motel, car, park, shelter, etc. That is a fact and the School system is legally not allowed to ask the parent or child to provide any evidence. I know this for certain because I live in LI and went to register my child to her new middle school and I was provided with that literature. THere are "homeless" liasons in the school district that helps out with that sort of stuff. It is also illegal to deny access to education to a child because they are missing any documentation.

In order to go to school on Long Island, you must RESIDE in the same school district you are going to. If you don't live with your parents, those who are guardians over you while living on Long Island must be APPOINTED by the courts as a guardian (through Family Court). You can go to the State Education Department's website (www.nysed.gov) and look up the Commissioner's decisions regarding residency in a school district. If you do not follow the guidelines, the parents can end up paying full tuition to school (which is about $20K per year on average on Long Island), PLUS possibly face criminal charges regarding fraud, falsifying business records, etc.
Be VERY CAREFUL - guardianship and support is key to the question of residency, as well as where you reside on a full time basis.

Rather than buy a house, can I live in an apartment (specifically Port Jefferson Station) and have my children go legally to public school? I do not know the area that well and don't want to rush into buying. Thanks.

If you reside in a legal apartment in the district and can prove it, you should not have any problem. I would suggest calling the school district directly and requesting information about what is needed to provide proof of residency.

Not all NYC schools are bad. My family has just moved to Long Island and we'd like to keep our children in the NYC Public School system. Does anyone know if this is legal? We are renting out our brownstone in Brooklyn and continue to pay the taxes. Thanks for your help.

My parents own a home in L.I. Can my daughter and I move in with my parents, and can I send my daughter to the school in my parent's district? I would be guardian for DD. My husband would then be living in another state. We're married. Long story. Is this allowed? Would the district allow this? Thanks.
