Proof of Residency

Effingham County Schools Board Policy states:

“At any time, upon request by school or district staff, the parent /guardian shall be required to present proof of residency (such as an electric bill, city water bill, etc.) and to certify that the student is a full-time resident, (i.e. 12 months a year). This certification may also be dependent on visual inspection by school district officials.”

Address changes require two proofs of residency.
We can accept anything from the following list:
One MUST be a utility bill.

Current Electric, Water, or Gas Bill

AND ONE of the Following: (must be the most recent & include address) :

Current Driver’s License WITH matching Address on Application
Current Residential Property Tax Statement or Bill
Current SIGNED Lease/Rental Agreement WITH Current Rent Receipt
Current Home Purchase & Sales Agreement
Current Mortgage Statement
Current Homeowner/Renters Insurance

You can email it to Whitney Bennett if
necessary, or bring in a physical copy with the change of address form.

Family Residency Affidavit

If the registering parent doesn't have a valid proof of residency in their name, you must fill out a Family Residency Affidavit.

This form must be signed by both the parent and the person who either owns or rents the home and has the utility or lease in his/her name.

It must also be notarized in both signature areas by a school district employee. A current (within 30 days) proof of residency must be submitted along with a copy of the homeowner/renter's photo ID.
