[quote=spdrun]bearishgurl: seems like most of the kids mentioned in the articles are non-resident CITIZENS. Exactly how common is this? I’d think there was a limited supply of such people.
As far as non-resident, non-citizen children crossing the border to attend school daily, I think the border guards would have something to say about that – eventually.[/quote]Many Mexican citizen children have documents to get across the border and back. Their parents often shop north of the border and some of them have relatives living on this side as well.
CA LAW states that students proving residency for public school attendance purposes MUST LIVE WITHIN the district AND within the attendance boundaries of the school they are attempting to enroll in. OR, successfully seek and obtain a zone transfer or interdistrict transfer from the district they are residents of or the district they wish to attend a particular school in.
Of course, one living in MEXICO is not considered a resident of ANY school district in CA. They are NON-residents.
Citizenship of the students or their parents has no bearing on whether daily border crossers are entitled to attend public school in CA or TX. ONLY “residency” does.
