"Understanding
Public School Residency Requirements"
Parents, guardians, caregivers and school administrators will
sometimes disagree over whether a student resides in a school district and can
be enrolled in a district public school. The information in this manual is
designed to help parents, guardians and caregivers understand the legal concepts
involved in residency disputes, and to inform them of their legal rights.
Effective December 17, 2001, for the first time, the New Jersey Department of
Education adopted regulations governing the residency requirements for admitting
students to public schools. Those regulations provide extensive procedural
protections to ensure that students are not denied an education during residency
disputes.

Many child welfare terms are subject to interpretation. The Glossary identifies
commonly held definitions for terms that can be found on the Child Welfare
Information Gateway website. It defines common acronyms and includes links to
information on major Federal legislation and related child welfare terms. The
Glossary will be updated as new terminology emerges in the field, as new
legislation is enacted, and as child welfare terms take on new meaning. Click
