Most school districts have a policy that you must
live within the boundaries of a specific school for your children to be eligible
to attend. Check on the website of a school district and look for
Boundaries. Type in your local address and it will tell you what
schools your children are assigned to attend. Usually documents such
as rental contract or a utility bill with your address printed on it will be
needed when registering to verify your address. In some cases, school
districts will take a few families from a waiting list and allow them to pay
tuition to attend their school. So make sure you check the schools
where you want to live. For more contact information on this subject please
